About This Project
A bilingual website and admin CMS for an Israeli real estate advisory firm—helping international investors find, finance, and manage properties in Israel without language barriers or local-knowledge gaps.
Key Features:
- Modular single-page homepage – 12 CMS-togglable sections (Hero, Trust, Properties, Construction, Team, Services, Testimonials, FAQ, Contact, and more) with full CRUD from the admin panel.
- Bilingual by design (es / en) – Every content field is a localized
{ es, en } object in MongoDB. Geo-IP + Accept-Language detection routes visitors to the right locale, with cookie persistence.
- Property & construction portfolio – Standalone detail pages for investment properties and projects under construction, with image/video galleries, specs, floor plans, highlight cards, and JSON-LD structured data.
- Fully-featured admin CMS – JWT-secured dashboard for managing all content: properties, team, site settings, branding (logos, favicons, typography), analytics tags, SMTP mailer, and media compression parameters.
- On-upload media pipeline – Automatic image compression (sharp → AVIF/WebP) and video transcoding (ffmpeg) with admin-configurable quality, resolution, and format controls. Auto poster extraction from uploaded videos.
- Redis-cached CMS data + on-demand ISR – 2-week Redis TTL for all CMS queries, cache invalidation on admin saves, and 1-hour Next.js ISR revalidation with no build-time prerendering.
- Investment process animation – Interactive 360° Method section with auto-advancing rings and configurable animation speed from the admin panel.
- SEO & analytics ready – Per-locale Open Graph / Twitter Cards, Organization + RealEstateListing JSON-LD, GA4, GTM, and Meta Pixel injection from CMS settings.
- Responsive, accessible UI – Mobile-first layout with Oswald + Manrope typography, Material Symbols icons, Tailwind CSS 4, and a floating WhatsApp action button.
