Multi-Department Websites Built to Scale

When a five-page website is no longer enough

Platform is for organizations that have outgrown a compact institutional site. You have multiple departments with distinct audiences, you operate across countries with different languages and content needs, your team needs to manage content independently, and your digital presence has to reflect the real scale of the business.

This is not just about adding more pages. It is an architecture designed to scale: robust design systems, headless CMS with department-level permissions, real internationalization with market-specific SEO, and infrastructure that handles traffic without hesitation.

What a Platform project includes

We shape a site that feels cohesive even when the content spans departments, languages, and audiences. The result is a structured digital ecosystem, not a collection of loosely connected pages.

Typical deliverables include:

• a complete design system with component libraries, design tokens, and style guides for consistency across every page now and in the future
• complex information architecture across five to ten or more pages with clear hierarchy and optimized UX
• full headless CMS (Directus or Strapi) with multiple editors, department-level permissions, and content approval workflows
• real multi-language support (up to twenty languages) with correct hreflang tags per market, localized content rather than raw translations, and localized URL routes
• market-specific SEO strategy with advanced schema.org structured data, per-language sitemaps, and international targeting
• performance scores of 95–100 across all markets via global CDN, measurable through Google PageSpeed Insights
• WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, mandatory in many markets and sectors
• GDPR and legal compliance for EU, UK, and other regulated markets
• integration with internal systems like CRM, ERP, and automation tools
• complete technical documentation for your team and future collaborators
• team training for full autonomy in managing the Platform
• thirty days of post-delivery support

Why this level of infrastructure matters

A growing company publishing content in three languages through a scattered WordPress install is fighting against its own tooling. Every new page requires developer involvement, translations drift out of sync, performance degrades with each plugin, and the brand feels inconsistent across markets.

Platform solves these structural problems at the architecture level. Content editors get a clean interface with clear roles and workflows. Each market gets properly localized content with the right metadata for search. The frontend stays fast and visually cohesive regardless of how many pages exist. And the technical foundation is built to support the next two to three years of growth without requiring a rebuild.

How this supports search, AI, and international buyers

International businesses face a particular challenge with discovery: each market needs to rank independently, with local language content, correct technical signals, and content that feels locally relevant rather than mechanically translated. Google’s guidelines for international targeting make it clear that proper implementation is not optional for multi-market sites.

Platform addresses this through proper hreflang implementation, market-specific sitemaps, structured data per language, and content architecture that gives search engines and AI assistants clear signals about which content belongs to which market. This means the Portuguese version of a service page can rank in Portugal while the English version ranks in the UK, each with appropriate metadata and trust signals.

Where x078 fits

For projects at this scale, the operational layer becomes critical. x078 manages deployment pipelines, hosting architecture on providers like Hetzner or Cloudflare Pages, monitoring, backup strategies, and the ongoing infrastructure work that keeps a multi-market site running cleanly. This is especially important when the site connects to external systems like HubSpot, Salesforce, or Stripe that require ongoing maintenance.

We also handle the transition from project mode to operational mode, making sure the team has documentation, training, and a clear path for managed hosting and ongoing maintenance after the initial delivery.

Who this is for

Platform is a strong fit for corporate groups with multiple brands or departments, companies with international operations across languages and currencies, institutional organizations like municipalities, universities, and hospitals, scale-ups in rapid expansion, and brands positioning themselves in premium global markets.

Technology Stack & CMS Architecture

We build large-scale portals that require multi-department management and rock-solid stability:

• Frontend: Astro or Next.js for maximum performance and SEO.
• CMS Headless: Directus, Strapi, or Sanity to give your team full editorial autonomy with role-based permissions.
• Legacy Support: We also maintain and migrate legacy portals built on WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla.
• Integrations: Custom API connections to your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Odoo) and ERP systems.

Pricing

Platform projects start from €13,000. This entry point covers a multi-page institutional website with headless CMS, multilingual support, SEO architecture, schema markup, and 30 days of post-launch support. Larger projects with complex integrations, custom dashboards, or enterprise CRM connections are scoped individually.

Most Platform projects also include a branding sprint (from €7,000) to ensure the visual system is coherent across all departments and channels.

For platforms requiring ongoing content or editorial operations, our content marketing service (from €350/month) provides the editorial layer.
