Solution

 

Timeframe

 

Initial proposed solution

The initial idea proposed was to have three separate sites. The downsides to this approach are:

1. Complexity of managing multiple sites
     1. Content for multiple sites
          1. Three places to manage
               1. Blog items
               2. Products
               3. Team members
               4. Recruitment positions
     2. Maintenance and upgrades
          1. Increased maintenance costs
2. No way to easily share content between sites
     1. Blog items
     2. Team members
     3. Positions
     4. Products
3. Possible complexity around hosting multiple sites under single domain
4. No central way to geolocate the user, and redirect to appropriate region

 

Revised proposed solution

The solution of having three separate sites does not seem to be the best way to solve the problem of having multiple regions. We suggest the following solution instead:

1. Build one site, not three
2. The site has a backend layer able to handle logic around:
     1. Geo-location
     2. Multi-region routing
     3. Dynamic content management
          1. Blogs
          2. Products
          3. Positions
          4. Team members

The proposed solution means that there is one central place to manage all three sites.

 

How will it work?

1. Three regions, one site
     1. When a user visits the site, geo-location is used to identify the location of the user and route him/her to the relevant               geography
     2. Most likely, the URL structure will be something like www.creativecfo.com/za
     3. The user should also be able to switch regions if needed by using a dropdown I the main nav
2. Static content
     1. Much of the site is made up of static content e.g. homepage content. There will be support to render different static               content partials depending on which region.
     2. This will allow different static content on the homepage based on the selected region.
3. Dynamic content
     1. The site makes use of various pieces of dynamic content that change more often:
                    1. Blog items
                    2. Career positions
                    3. Products
                    4. Team members
     2. The administrator will be able to manage these various dynamic items from a single backend, instead of three.
     3. When creating various pieces of dynamic content, there will be an option to select which region the content should be            available on.
     4. Take for example a blog post. A blog post can be specific to a region, or relevant to all three regions. So, instead of               loading the blog post three times, it is created once and pushed to the relevant regions.
4. Administrator permissions
     1. You may want certain administrators to manage content for all three regions, while limiting others to certain regions.               This will be baked in.
