About Us


Our Mission

Since 2000, Byte Level Research has been dedicated to the art and science of web globalization.

We pioneered the practice of global gateway design, and we were the first firm to begin benchmarking global web sites across all industries. Over the years, we have studied thousands of web sites and spoken with the people who manage these sites.

We've learned a thing or two about what makes a global web site truly successful and we share this information through reports, benchmark services, and the world's leading monthly publication: Global by Design. Our goal is to help marketing and web teams create web sites that truly speak to the world, across languages and borders.
