The backbone of Belgian domains

In 2019, Wieni partnered with DNS Belgium, the registry behind .be, .vlaanderen, and .brussels, to launch dnsbelgium.be, a flexible, multilingual platform that not only showcases their services but brings digital trust and security to the Belgian web.

Who is DNS Belgium

DNS Belgium is a non-profit registry responsible for managing the .be, .vlaanderen, and .brussels domain zones. It safeguards the Belgian internet’s core infrastructure, combats cybercrime, promotes digital security, and raises public awareness about responsible online behaviour.

How did Wieni help?

DNS Belgium needed more than a standard website: they wanted a robust, accessible platform that could grow with their mission. Wieni took on the full spectrum:

  • Discovery and wireframes based on real use‑cases

  • Visual design aligned with DNS Belgium’s authority

  • A modular multilingual Drupal CMS with full editorial freedom

  • Deep integration of DNS tools like domain search and WHOIS lookup

  • Configurable corporate subsites for campaigns like ClaimJeIdee.be

  • Cookie consent, data privacy safeguards, penetration testing for GDPR and security

  • 24/7 SLA-based hosting, support, and maintenance

Five highlights

  1. Modular, multilingual content builder
    Editors can build pages in multiple languages, turning complex policy info into clear, structured content.

  2. Embedded domain lookup tools
    Real-time domain search, WHOIS, and transfer code lookup are seamlessly integrated, no redirects, no friction.

  3. On‑the‑fly subsites
    Campaigns and minisites now roll out from the same backend, each with custom headers and navigation.

  4. Security‑first design
    Penetration tests, GDPR compliance, Cookiebot integration, and a design built for trust and resilience.

  5. Award-winning performance & accessibility
    Named FeWeb’s Website of the Year in 2019, DNS Belgium set the standard for accessibility, SEO, performance, and clarity.

Launching in 2019, dnsbelgium.be quickly became Europe’s first registry site fully optimized for accessibility, security, and performance. Wieni continues to support growth, run updates, and ensure the site remains a trusted digital hub for Belgian domains.
