Scalable, International Success
b13 has the tools and experience to deliver technical solutions and long-term partnerships to inspire customer trust and support your worldwide growth at any scale.
Global growth can pose new and unexpected challenges to your existing business and technological infrastructure.
Stay Connected
Very fast, very reliable websites create great experiences for your customers, leading to superior conversion rates for your business everywhere in the world. But success has a price: skyrocketing visitor counts place increased demands on your technical infrastructure, and you need to know it’ll continue to deliver when it’s put to the test.
At b13, we choose proven, reliable systems and software, stress-test your infrastructure before launch to make sure it can handle demand, and distribute the traffic load globally for maximum reach and performance—so you get increased conversions and visitor retention, fast web pages everywhere your customers are, and reliable choices made by an experienced partner.
Scale to Any Size—Everywhere
TYPO3 CMS, our open source technology platform of choice, delivers enterprise-level scalability. Multisite and multilingual installations are core features of the system, and all of your sites run blazingly fast, even when a single TYPO3 instance is powering hundreds of sites in as many languages.
Yet managing content across a growing number of online properties can be challenging—how do you maintain content quality in dozens of languages as your number of projects, staff, and editors increases? Many of our clients choose b13 because we provide true scalability for content and asset management: a single hub for all your digital assets, advanced customized editing workflows, and professionally planned, managed growth that lets you serve content in any language.
Meet Peak Demand With Peak Performance
Lightning-fast page loads worldwide, thanks to industry-leading combinations of distributed content-delivery infrastructure and software, backed by b13’s knowledge and experience. Being prepared to serve a global market—as an agency or any other business—presents plenty of pitfalls: caching, for example, was designed to speed content delivery to your users, but it’s a difficult science to master, and can end up serving your users expired content instead.
We combine years of experience and know-how gained from international projects and clients with rigorous testing of the browser, network, and software, keeping your websites close to the customer with optimized delivery for near-instant page loads—so your site keeps serving the information your customers need fast, even at peak demand.
Maximize Conversion at Minimal Cost
We build and maintain effective global sales funnels that share functionality across all your digital channels, minimizing lost opportunities and maximizing your return on investment. Your websites need to pay their own way: slow-loading, poorly designed websites can harm your sales and get in the way of the conversations you should be having with your customers, and if they’re hard to run or administer for your teams, their effectiveness as a sales channel suffers too.
We optimize your sites with UX designed for conversion, and choose cost-efficient ways to serve content fast to any location—reducing site management and administration time by working with a single multisite, multilingual CMS installation built from the ground up to manage large amounts of content cleanly and efficiently, so you can maximize results by reusing your proven formulas across local markets.
Translation, Between Languages and Cultures
At b13, we’ve got 20 years of experience delivering successful international projects, and we’d like to help you succeed too. From the technical to the cultural, we’ll help you navigate the challenges global businesses face: avoiding cultural misunderstandings, working around slow networks, delivering the right mix of translation, localization, and local knowledge, and handling time-zone-related scheduling issues, among others.
You started your business in one country with a single-language website, and now it’s time to expand and grow—but many businesses in that situation discover their content management system can’t support professional content translation and approval workflows. We use TYPO3, an open source CMS used by major international corporations, offering enterprise-level translation handling and publishing workflows, massive scalability, and our own international project experience—so you can publish and administer in any language, design and deliver the right messages to the right audiences, and grow to enterprise size without losing your personal touch.
Trustworthy and Uncluttered Data Privacy
Increase trust in your brand, improve conversions, and make data privacy straightforward across borders and continents. With b13, legal compliance is no blocker for your online sales efforts.
Meet diverse customer expectations: A site overloaded with privacy warnings covering the legal requirements of diverse governments can make visitors feel insecure—we help you build uncluttered, trustworthy experiences that respect every region’s expectations without piling on friction.
Manage complex legal requirements with ease: The intricacies of local privacy policies can be hard to manage for your staff. b13 brings specialized knowledge and experience handling differing regulatory requirements across all your web properties and digital channels.
Stay on top with automated compliance audits: We speed up your privacy compliance with auditing and monitoring tools, combined with TYPO3’s built-in support for GDPR, privacy, and security.
