Joomla Customer Portal Development
Summary
A Finnish IT company that delivers centralized infrastructure services online needed a corporate web portal that could work in several languages — and where choosing a language changes not just the text but the design and functionality too. INNERLUXES built the site on Joomla, using the Joom!Fish localization component so the portal presents fully in each language, including a localized Google Map, with the flexibility to add more languages over time.
About the Client
The Client is a Finnish IT company whose entire business model is built around delivering centralized and standardized IT infrastructure services over the internet.
A Corporate Portal That Localizes Everything, Not Just Text
The Client needed a corporate web portal that supported multiple languages — initially Dutch, English, and Finnish, with the ability to add more later. An important requirement was that selecting a language should change not only the article text but also the graphic design and functionality; for example, the Google Map had to display information according to the selected language.
A Joomla Site With Deep Localization
INNERLUXES built the website on the Joomla framework and used Joom!Fish, one of the most powerful Joomla localization components, to present the site in multiple languages with full localization. The portal includes all the required components, and the localization extends across the whole experience:
- Full localization — Joom!Fish lets the site appear entirely in each chosen language rather than translating text alone.
- Rich components — articles, a contact form, Google Maps, a presentation video, and more.
- Interactive features — Ajax and the jQuery JavaScript framework power selected features.
A User-Friendly Multilingual Website
- The Client received a very user-friendly corporate website that meets all of the company's requirements.
