Webflow Development
A multi-locale site built to perform at scale
Building the AssessFirst site in Webflow was a major technical undertaking.
The site spans five locales — FR, EN, DE, AR, and RU — while staying within the limits of Webflow’s standard plan. It uses a clean URL structure for each language, plus redirects for locales that aren’t natively supported (Arabic and Russian) to protect both the user experience and SEO.
The technical integration involved multiple external layers. Cloudflare, used as a proxy/CDN, required custom configuration to fix 500 errors that appeared during development. A classic clash between proxy cache and the Webflow staging environment.
Cookie consent runs through Axeptio, natively integrated into the site to stay GDPR-compliant across every locale.
On the component side, the hover mega-menu with two or three columns is one of the most refined technical elements on the site. It organizes a dense navigation system — solutions, products, resources — while staying smooth and intuitive. The iClosed widget, persistent across the entire site, lets visitors book time with David Bernard (CEO) without leaving the browsing flow.
The blog includes an automatic article summary system powered by an LLM API (Gemini, after initial tests with Mistral). Multi-language article imports were structured to automatically map EN and DE content to each other, keeping editorial consistency across locales.
The entire development workflow relied on Flowmapp for sitemap mapping, and Markup.io for QA cycles between the dev and design teams, making it possible to leave contextual feedback directly on pages in progress.
