"Pure Frisian products must be advertised in Frisian, according to Webburo Noord Nederland. That is why existing and new customers of the IT-company can have a Frisian version of their website made for free.

Webburo Noord Nederland successfully applied for funding from the province of Fryslân: they will provide 14,000 euro for the translations in the course of two years. Director Arjen Pauwels of the IT-company: “That is enough for 76 websites.”

The subsidy covers about 75 per cent of the total costs, Webburo Noord Nederland contributes the rest itself. The director thinks that the offer is attractive for parties that aim specifically at the Frisian market. “It could be a commercial company, but also a notary's office with a large Frisian clientele'."
