Overview
As Creative Lead at VFM Associates, an international business consultancy with offices in the UK, France and Spain, I redesigned and rebuilt the company website with Eleventy and Nunjucks. The goal was a professional, fast site that the in-house team could maintain themselves, without relying on external developers or a complex technical setup.
Technical Approach
I chose a JAMstack architecture, with Eleventy (11ty) as the static site generator, Nunjucks for templating and Decap CMS (then Netlify CMS) for content. Netlify handled hosting, CDN delivery, automated deploys from Git and form submissions, so the business had a fast site with no server or database to maintain.
Key Features
Multilingual support let each region tailor content for its audience while keeping core messaging consistent. I configured the Git-based CMS so non-technical colleagues could edit content through a simple interface, with every change version-controlled behind the scenes. Netlify Forms handled enquiries with email notifications and spam protection, without any server-side code.
Design and Delivery
I designed the site in Figma, from wireframes to high-fidelity mock-ups, then built it through to launch. Reusable templates and page structures kept the site consistent across service and regional pages while leaving room for each to differ, and I built every layout responsively with semantic HTML and modern CSS, plus JavaScript for interactions such as the forms and the mobile navigation menu.
Outcome
VFM launched a modern, multilingual website for its UK, French and Spanish audiences, and the in-house team could publish updates themselves instead of relying on developers. Because the site is static, it stays fast and simple to maintain as new services and regions are added.
