Web design in Narva with Russian and Estonian versions from day one
solanasite is based in Narva and knows the local brief well: most customers speak Russian, yet the site also has to work for people searching in Estonian. That is why both languages are built into the structure from the start rather than bolted on later.

Why a Narva website needs two languages
Narva is Estonia’s third-largest city, and most of its residents are Russian speakers. A Russian-only site can seem enough. But customers and partners from other parts of Estonia, tourists, and a growing number of young locals educated in Estonian all search in Estonian.
There is also a legal side. According to guidance from the Estonian Language Board (Keeleamet), a public-facing foreign-language website of a company registered in Estonia must contain at least summary information in Estonian about its activities, goods or services. A full Estonian version covers this comfortably.
Who orders websites in Narva most often
- beauty salons, hairdressers, massage and dental clinics — with online booking;
- car repair, tyre services and appliance repair;
- construction and renovation companies that need a portfolio of completed work;
- guest apartments and guides serving visitors to the castle and Narva-Jõesuu;
- companies offering their services beyond Ida-Viru County.
What the website includes
- design and structure built around your business, comfortable on a phone;
- Russian and Estonian versions on separate URLs, with English if needed;
- a separate title and description for each language, so both versions can be found in search;
- an admin panel for texts, prices, photos and services — the layout stays intact;
- online booking, reviews and a before-and-after gallery;
- leads to Telegram and email, built-in analytics without third-party trackers;
- HTTPS, backups, and a domain registered in your name.
Getting your texts into Estonian
Not having Estonian texts is no reason to delay the site. The studio writes the Estonian version for Estonian search rather than as a line-by-line translation — “autoremont Narvas”, not a literal rendering of the Russian phrase. You review the Russian version, and the Estonian one is agreed in writing.
How the work runs
The studio works from Narva, but communication is in writing, just as with clients elsewhere in Estonia: by email and the enquiry form, in Russian, Estonian or English. That way every agreement is on record and easy to find. Every enquiry gets a reply within 24 hours.
The cost is calculated for your task and fixed in the contract before work begins; support after launch is a separate monthly line.
Pricing
The cost depends on the scope
Starting prices are shown on each service page and on the Pricing page. The exact cost depends on the scope — languages, sections, payments, booking — and is worked out for the task and fixed in the quote and the contract before work starts.
Describe the task
What the site has to do, who it is for and what takes up your time today. A reply comes within 24 hours — with clarifying questions or a preliminary estimate of cost and timing.
Quote and deadline in the contract
What is included, for how much and by when is fixed before the work starts. The price does not grow along the way: new large sections are priced separately and in advance, not on the invoice.
Monthly maintenance
Hosting, certificate, platform and security updates, backups and small edits — a separate monthly line in the quote. Domain renewal is paid to the registrar unless the contract says otherwise. If you decide to leave, you take the content as an archive and the domain, which is registered in your name.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the website be in Russian only?
Technically yes, but under the Language Act a public website of an Estonian company should include at least summary information in Estonian. Without an Estonian version you also miss everyone searching in Estonian.
The studio is in Narva — can we drop by to discuss the project?
Work is handled in writing: it makes details easier to agree on and every decision easier to look up later. Enquiries get a reply within 24 hours.
Do we need an English version?
If your customers include tourists or foreign partners, yes. A salon or garage serving local residents is usually fine with Russian and Estonian; English can be added later.
Who writes the website texts?
You provide the facts about your business; the studio turns them into page texts in Russian and Estonian and agrees them with you.
