What changes for a Swiss business
Revised FADP (nFADP)
Switzerland's revised data protection act applies since 2023: a privacy policy, purpose limitation, minimal forms and a named contact. EU GDPR also applies where you serve EU residents.
Cantonal health advertising rules
Health advertising is regulated at cantonal level with FMH and SSO professional codes on top, restricting claims and comparisons. Sites show cantonal licence and stay within the codes.
.ch domains
No residency requirement; registered in your name.
Four languages, one English page
Swiss businesses serve German, French, Italian and English speakers. This English page is for international practices in Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Zug; the client site can be multilingual with hreflang, and you write or approve each language.

What Swiss businesses ask first
Who is this page for?
International practices and salons in Switzerland working in English, concentrated in Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Zug. If your business runs in German, French or Italian with local-searching clients, you need a studio in that language, and we will say so.
Can customers pay with TWINT?
Yes. TWINT is how Swiss customers pay on their phones, and deposits and payments run with TWINT enabled alongside cards and PostFinance.
Can the site be multilingual?
Yes. English plus German, French or Italian, each with correct hreflang, and you write or approve each language. We do not machine-translate.
Do you work in the local language?
We work in English: calls, email and project management. The site we build for you can be in the local language, and for a business serving local customers it should be; you write or approve that copy. We do not machine-translate a page about your business.
Pick your kind of business
- DentistsPatients search at night and book in the morning, if they can. A site that lets them book, shows real prices, and looks after itself.
- ClinicsReception is on the phone. The website should be taking the bookings that do not need a person. Built for physio, chiro, podiatry, therapy, med spas and allied health.
- Salons and barbersMost of your clients decide to book when you are closed. Instagram gets them interested; the website has to take the booking.
- Studios and gymsTimetable, book a spot, buy the pass, all on a phone, in under a minute. Built for yoga, pilates, barre, dance, boxing and personal training studios.
- TradesSomeone with a leak searches, taps the first site that loads, and calls or sends photos. If your site is slow or has no form, they tap the next one.
- AutomotiveDrivers want a slot, a price and a reason to trust you. The site has to book the service or test online, quote the repair from a photo, and prove you are the honest garage.
- PetsPet owners are choosing someone to trust with a family member. The site has to show the people and the place, state prices, handle the paperwork, and book the slot.
- Education and lessonsParents and adult learners compare on qualifications, fees and fit. The site has to show all three, book a trial, and enrol the term or course without a phone call.
- Photography, events and creativeCouples and clients book a year out, compare on the work and the price, and check the date first. The site has to show the work fast, state the packages, and take the date enquiry properly.
- Professional and financial servicesClients choose on trust and clarity. The site has to explain what you do in plain words, state fees where you can, show regulation and credentials, and book the first meeting.
- Hospitality and experiencesGuests book on the marketplace because your site cannot take the booking. A site with live availability, direct reservation and honest prices takes it back, without the commission.
- Therapists and coachesClients choose a coach or therapist on fit and specificity. The site has to say exactly who you help and how, state prices, avoid the claims regulators penalise, and book the first session.
- Childcare and familyParents are choosing who looks after their child. The site has to show the setting, prove vetting and inspection, explain fees and funding, and take the enquiry, viewing or enrolment.
- Repair and technical servicesCustomers want to know if you fix their thing, what it costs and how long. The site has to answer all three and book the drop-off or visit.
- Funeral and life eventsPeople arrive at these sites at the hardest moments. The site has to be calm, answer the practical questions plainly, state prices, and make the first call or message easy.
