Build Your Language Business Website with One Prompt (Copy, Paste, Done)
The marketplaces run your profession like a toll road: Preply and italki take 15–33% of every lesson, translation agencies take half the client's rate, and your profile competes on price against the whole world. Meanwhile the client who needs exactly you — your language pair, your specialty, your certification — searches Google and finds the platforms, not you.
Your own practice takes one afternoon to open: a complete, ready-made prompt below builds your site — language pairs and specialties, a quote request that captures the document, trial-lesson booking — in about 3 minutes. Free to start, no credit card. Every client who books direct is a raise.
Step 1 — Pick your platform

How much does a translator website cost in 2026?
Direct answer: $16–30/month — versus marketplaces taking 15–33% of every lesson and agencies taking ~half the client rate on translations.
| Path | Your cut of $1,000/month of work | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Lesson marketplaces | $670–850 | Price-war profiles, their student list |
| Agency translation work | ~$500–600 | Invisible to the end client |
| Direct via your site | ~$970 (after ~3% processing) | You do the marketing — this page IS the marketing |
Add ~$15/year for the domain. Two direct clients a month typically out-earn a full marketplace pipeline. Pricing verified July 2026.
Start free — see your practice online before paying anything
Paste the master prompt into a free tier (Base44: 25 messages/month, no credit card) and see it today: your language pairs as badges, your certification displayed, a quote form that takes documents. For a profession the platforms made anonymous, that's a statement.
The honest boundary: your own domain starts at $16/month — less than the commission on two lessons.
Two honest warnings
- "Certified/sworn" is a legal term — use yours precisely. What counts as a certified or sworn translation differs by country (court-appointed, association-certified, notarized). State exactly what you hold and which authorities accept your work — clients with immigration deadlines depend on it.
- Confidentiality is your product too. Clients upload contracts and medical records — the confidentiality line isn't decor. Handle files accordingly, delete on request, and never quote a client's document in your marketing.
