Website for German investment company

[MadeMyDay]

Stroke upon stroke...

Another one online:

http://aureliusinvest.com/en/  (english) and 

http://aureliusinvest.de (german)

German Investment Company. Porting old website from MODX to PW (by hand mostly), added some more emotional imagery and a bit more what they actually do and how they work.

Nothing special to say about the used modules, it is mainly content and images which has to be managed by PW.

I already said I liked it on Twitter. 

Teeny-tiny thing about the icons (I'm glad I'm not the last person on earth who uses icon fonts, BTW) – you could make the icon font icons a wee bit nicer for screen readers if you replace i.e.

<i class="icon-search"></i>

with

<span class="icon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span>

The i element is “text in an alternate voice” in HTML5, I'm not sure if screen readers react on that. The aria-hidden makes screen readers not read out the glyph used for the icon. However, if you use aria-hidden, you should also add a fallback text for screen readers to actually read …

<span class="icon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span><span class="screen-reader-text">Search</span>

… and hide that for visual browsers.

While I'm poking at the search, why not use type="search" for the input? Also, the search input is missing a label (again, just for screen readers, and it should probably be hidden for visual browsers as well.)

very nice as always!

please correct me if i'm wrong, but i think it's not the best for SEO to have 2 domains showing exactly the same website (.com without /en = .de). maybe you could add a canonical link?

any opinions of the experts here?

You are right. But instead relying on a canonical I just used a PW solution:

if($config->httpHost == "aureliusinvest.com"){
    $english = $languages->get("en");
    if($page->viewable($english) && $page->url != $page->localUrl($english)){
        $session->redirect($page->localUrl($english));
    }
}

Basically: If user accesses the site with the .com domain I check if there is an english version of that site and redirect to that one. Only if the current page isn't already the right one. Since session redirects are 301 by default, Google should index correctly.

Great Work.

Nice design. Clean, simple, but not boring at all.

Even it's when "just" content, I think the handling with all the data isn't done in a few minutes.

Very nice, bookmarked as best-practice example.

Did you do the whole thing, design, coding, ia etc.? Or is this the work of a team?

No, just me.
