NetequalTech has been created to help small businesses and individuals build their own bilingual (Spanish/English)
websites.
Based on the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2006 44.3 million Hispanics accounted for 14.8% of the total
population of 299 million in the U.S. Hispanics growth rate of 24.3% was more than three times the growth rate
of the total population of 6.1%.
Building and designing an effective bilingual website is a challenge for web producers and website owners alike, there are
many factors to consider if you want to build your site yourself. We, at NetequalTech, are a group of
seasoned bilingual (Spanish/English) web engineers who have developed tools with the latest web technology to help you
create a sounding bilingual website for your business or your personal use. We do not translate content in an
automated fashion as our competition does, we actually translate with the Spanish language concept in mind and as
accurate, meaninful, and relevant as possible.
The Spanish language is the choice among Hispanics in the U.S. but there are many sensitive issues that involve different
nationalities within the Hispanic community. These nationalities must be understood and are very
important to the success of your bilingual website.
Many aspects of the Hispanic culture, such as language, customs, and idiosyncrasies are important elements to
understand in order to have a successful bilingual website. It is also very important to understand that
the Spanish language spoken by Mexicans differ in terms of idioms and dialects from the Spanish spoken by Central
Americans, Cubans, or Puerto Ricans.
Hispanics account for more than half of the U.S. population growth this decade, an increase spurred more by births
than immigration, a study released by the Pew Hispanic Center found.
The U.S. Hispanic population has grown by nearly 30 percent - from about 35 million in 2000 to about 45 million
in 2007, says the report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington.
Some of the counties with rapid growth in the Hispanic population are in Montana, New Hampshire, Maine
and Massachusetts. However, 80 percent of the growth in the Latino community is still occurring
in the South and the West. The 25 fastest growing counties in terms of net Hispanic population growth
this decade are mostly in California, Texas, Arizona and Florida, the study said.
Hispanics are the largest minority in the United States. The buying power of the Hispanic population is
expected to grow from $653 billion in 2003 to $1.2 trillion by 2012 - one out of every ten dollars of U.S. buying power.
The combined purchasing power of the U.S. Hispanic population ranks it among the world's largest economies and
its population is the fourth largest when compared to Spanish speaking countries world-wide.
“What we are now seeing is the secondary impacts of Hispanic international migration from
the '80s and '90s, now fertility, natural increase, is driving Hispanic growth.
