00 Public multilingual website / information architecture
Saadi Institute case study
A static public multilingual website documented through current homepage evidence, private-source status, live public reachability, and explicit no-metrics framing.
- Evidence
- Current public homepage screenshot with AVIF/WebP derivatives
- Languages
- Persian, German, and English public site architecture recorded in the inventory
- Boundary
- No traffic, conversion, backend, or stakeholder-result claims are made
Context
Saadi Institute needed a public information surface for programs, updates, articles, events, gallery material, publications, resources, and contact paths.
The strongest portfolio value is not a metric claim; it is the visible multilingual route structure and public content organization.
Constraints
The project inventory records private source control and a live public website. Portfolio evidence must therefore use public screenshots and documented route behaviour only.
Persian, German, and English content require navigation and layout decisions that remain clear across writing systems and page types.
System
The site is recorded as a dependency-free static HTML/CSS/JS project with Cloudflare deployment through Wrangler, static search JSON, and generated public build output.
Public pages include program, resource, update, event, gallery, publication, and contact routes rather than one brochure page.
Decisions
The information architecture prioritizes repeatable route families and predictable navigation over decorative storytelling.
Static mailto fallbacks and no-analytics defaults keep the public surface simple until future backend/newsletter/upload handling is active.
Failure modes
The main presentation risk is overstating client outcome or backend capability. The portfolio avoids conversion claims and active backend claims.
Language and route complexity are treated as structural product work, not as visual decoration.
Validation
The inventory records static checks, image audit tests, public build tests, and visual QA in the Saadi Institute repository.
The committed portfolio evidence uses public website content only, with no admin state, private paths, or visitor data visible.
Outcome
Saadi Institute becomes the portfolio proof of public multilingual delivery and information architecture.
The case study remains honest: current structure is shown, while traffic, conversion, and stakeholder results are not invented.
