OFFLINE MARKETING

Hello Warriors,

I own a web design and marketing company. I live and operate my business mainly in the country where I currently live (Switzerland).

Now I want to expand my business abroad, especially the web design part, by offering my services to clients in Canada and the US.

My current company website is on a .ch TLD.
What do you suggest me to do? To translate the website in English and keep it under the .ch TLD or buy a .com and do the website in English exclusively on the .com ?

I am afraid that if I keep my site under the .ch, American or Canadian clients could not feel comfortable when visiting my portfolio and my references.

Probably I am totally wrong but I would like to have your ideas.

Thanks,
Matt

I would buy a .com. I've never visited a .ch site and actually this is the first I've heard of it.

Make sure everything is in English.

I know it sounds insular and prejudiced, but if I was encouraged to go to a site with a tld that looked "sketchy" to me because I'd never seen it before, I probably wouldn't even click. And then if I got there and half of it wasn't in English, I would think, "This person hasn't even taken the time to make sure I can read what they're trying to say. They obviously aren't committed to my market. What kind of a job would they do for me when this is only half-done?"
