**Abstract27 builds and runs websites for French and French-speaking people living outside France: freelancers, associations, schools, elected councillors and community media. Most of these sites are bilingual, French and the language of the country you live in. We are a French web agency based in London, and we work by video call with French speakers wherever they are.**

## What a French-speaking expat website needs

- **Two languages, properly linked.** A language switcher on every page, and each page paired with its translation so Google shows French speakers the French version and everyone else the English one.
- **Someone who speaks your language.** You explain your project in French, and we answer in French — calls, emails and changes.
- **A newsletter to your community**, sent from the site, in one or both languages. The subscriber list stays yours.
- **Memberships, sign-ups and events** for associations, schools and networks: a members area, online payment and a calendar.
- **Credibility in your host country.** A clear, fast site in the local language, with the privacy notice and consent that UK GDPR and the EU GDPR require.
- **A site that keeps up after you move.** It is hosted and run for you, so a new committee, a new city or a busy season does not leave it out of date.

## Who we build for

- **Freelancers and small businesses** who work with French speakers and with locals: a professional site in both languages, with booking or a contact form.
- **Associations and expat networks**: welcome groups, alumni, chambers, clubs — members, events, a directory and a newsletter.
- **French schools and parent associations**: term dates, enrolment, news for families who read French, English or both.
- **Elected councillors and community media**: a campaign or news site that reaches French speakers living in your district.

## Wherever you live

We are based in London, where we built every site below. We work the same way for French speakers anywhere: a video call at a time that suits your time zone, a beta site you check online, and a price paid in pounds or euros.

## Built on Ghost, open-source software you own

Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on.

## What we have built

- [Dispensaire Français](https://abstract27.com/bilingual-wordpress-to-ghost-rebuild-for-the-dispensaire-francais/) — a French medical and social charity in London, rebuilt as two twin sites, French and English.
- [TaxTrends](https://abstract27.com/website-migration-from-blogger-to-ghost-cms/) — a bilingual site for French-speaking accountants in London.
- [The French Law Practice](https://abstract27.com/website-redesign-for-a-london-law-firm-frenchlawpractice-com/) — a French law firm in London.
- [Club Petit Pierrot](https://abstract27.com/website-for-a-childrens-french-school-in-london-clubpetitpierrot-co-uk/) — a French school for children in London.
- [APL Lycée Charles de Gaulle](https://abstract27.com/apl-cdg-org-uk/) — the parents' association of the French lycée in London, writing to French and English parents.
- [Ensemble!](https://abstract27.com/bilingual-election-campaign-website-for-ensemble-ensemble2026-uk/) — a bilingual campaign site for the 2026 consular elections in the UK.
- [Français à Londres](https://abstract27.com/francaisalondres/) — the media of French speakers in London.
- [Medicare Français](https://abstract27.com/medicare-francais/) — private healthcare for French speakers in London.

## Price

A managed website costs **£25 a month** in one language or **£40 a month** bilingual: design and build, hosting, security updates, daily backups, newsletter and content changes on request. No setup fee, first version as fast as you need it (the same day if urgent, otherwise within a week), cancel any time. [See plans and pricing](https://abstract27.com/services/). Most expat sites take the bilingual plan, at £40 a month.

## How it works

1. **Free call.** You tell us about your organisation and what the site must do; we tell you exactly what we would build.
2. **A first version as fast as you need it.** We adapt to you: the same day if it is urgent, otherwise within a week. We set up your pages, newsletter and forms. If you prefer, we build it first on a beta site of ours: you check that everything works, and only when it suits you do we move it to your official domain, safely.
3. **We run it for you.** Hosting, updates, backups and changes on request are included. You publish when you want, we handle the rest. We adapt to what you need — our [client reviews](https://abstract27.com/reviews/) say so.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need my site in both languages?

Not always. If your clients or members all read French, one language is enough. If you also want to reach locals, or to be found on Google in the local language, take the bilingual plan.

### Who translates the texts?

The texts stay yours: you provide both versions, or work with the translator of your choice. We lay out each language, link every page to its twin and set up search engine optimisation for each one.

### One domain or two?

Both work. Most often we put the second language in a folder of the same domain (yoursite.com/fr/); the Dispensaire Français uses a sub-domain for each language. We advise you on the first call.

### Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. Everything happens by video call and email, at a time that suits your time zone. Our case studies are in London because that is where we started.

### In which currency do I pay?

In pounds or in euros, by card, monthly or yearly.
