About the client
Fondation France-Asie is an independent organisation dedicated to relations between France and Asian countries. It brings together country chapters and organises Young Leaders programmes and activities.
The challenge
The existing single WordPress website had become difficult to manage as new regions joined the organisation. The foundation needed a shared platform that would allow country teams to manage their own content independently.
What Bato delivered
1. Language versions & URLs:
The main website currently provides French, English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese versions. French uses the root URL, with dedicated paths for the other languages.
French English/en/ Chinese /zh-hans/ Japanese /ja/
2. Editing translations in the CMS:
Each country team has its own administration area and access rights in WordPress Multisite. During delivery, Bato updated the China website’s content and populated the Young Leaders entries for 2019 and 2021.
3. Pre-launch checks:
Bato reviewed desktop, tablet and mobile layouts, including spacing, typography, animations and sliders. The team adjusted mobile pagination, corrected the year slider, fixed filtering and Load more functionality, and addressed French interface messages.
4. Website redesign & content migration:
Bato redesigned the website and migrated the existing content from a single WordPress site to WordPress Multisite.
5. Country websites & reusable components:
Dedicated websites were created for Japan, China and India, with reusable visual components, separate administration areas and independent access rights for country teams.
The result
- A shared WordPress Multisite platform for the foundation and its country websites
- Dedicated websites for Japan, China and India
- Independent administration and access rights for local teams
- Reusable components and migrated content within the new platform
