Multicultural Web Design
The world is becoming a smaller place, but thankfully it’s not becoming a more homogenous place. More and more people are going online to communicate and do business, but this doesn’t mean that everyone’s speaking English – it may be the ‘mother tongue’ of the internet, but only 22% of web surfers are native English speakers, and the number of internet users in Asia outstrips those in North America and Europe put together.
In this environment, if you want to be a truly ‘global’ and competitive website, you need to think beyond a monolingual and monocultural audience and reach out to everyone out there in cyberspace – especially if you’re in the business of selling goods and services, since studies have shown that 85% of consumers won’t buy from a site if they can’t read about the product in their own native language (Common Sense Advisory, 2006).
