Examples
The easiest way to understand what Provelopment Foundation can do is to see it working. Four live websites are built on the same platform: the Provelopment site you are looking at now, the Foundation project's own website, a straightforward local business demonstration, and a more advanced international business demonstration. That range is deliberate. Foundation gives smaller businesses and organisations a professional place to start without putting a ceiling on what the website can become.
One foundation, four very different websites
A good platform should adapt to the organisation using it, not make every organisation fit the same template. These examples show how the same Foundation can support a commercial service website, a large multilingual information site, a straightforward local business and a much more advanced international business.
Live
Provelopment
The Provelopment website you are reading now — a commercial service site for businesses and organisations that need a professional website built, modernised or looked after.
- A commercial website built around clear service paths and customer decisions
- Content for both businesses that need a website and people who want to build a website business of their own
- A professional site that uses the same Foundation platform as the project site and both demonstrations
- A straightforward example of Foundation being shaped around a specific organisation rather than a fixed template
Live
Provelopment Foundation
The public website of the open-source Foundation project itself — a large information site designed to explain the platform, document it and help people adopt it.
- Nine published languages for an international audience
- A large body of information organised into clear families of pages
- Navigation and content that change appropriately with the selected language
- One multilingual website rather than separate disconnected sites for each language
Live — fictional demonstration
Ashcombe Landscapes & Gardens
A fictional landscape and garden business demonstrating how one website can support a business operating across multiple locations, languages and markets.
- Thirteen operating locations, each with its own local business details
- Nine languages, with the appropriate language choices available for each location
- Local opening hours and live opening status for individual locations
- Prices presented in the appropriate local currency
Live — fictional demonstration
Ashcombe Cleaning Co.
A fictional cleaning business demonstrating the simpler end of the same platform: one market, one language and a clear path from understanding the service to making an enquiry.
- A straightforward single-market business website
- Clear services, customer reviews and practical business information
- A simple enquiry journey without unnecessary complexity
Same platform. Different needs.
The Provelopment site above is another live Foundation implementation. The comparison below focuses on the three reference sites outside provelopment.com, showing how the same platform can stay simple where simplicity is enough and support much more when the website needs it.
| Dimension | Provelopment Foundation | Ashcombe Landscapes & Gardens | Ashcombe Cleaning Co. |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the site is | Large multilingual project and information website | Advanced international business website | Straightforward local business website |
| Languages | Nine | Nine, with language availability matched to the selected location | One |
| Locations | Not location-based — it is a project rather than an operating business | Thirteen cities | One operating market |
| Local business details | Not applicable | Each location has its own address, telephone number, timezone, opening hours and holiday information | One set of business details and opening hours |
| Pricing by market | Not applicable | Prices are presented in the local currency for each market | One currency |
| Live opening status | Not applicable | Each location can show whether it is open now using its own timezone, hours and holidays | Not required for this website |
| Search structure | Each language has its own web address and the site connects the language versions correctly | Location-aware addresses and links keep visitors in the market they selected | A straightforward single-market structure |
| Content depth | Several kinds of project, documentation and information pages | Services, portfolio, customer reviews and supporting business information | Services, customer reviews and practical business information |
Real websites. Fictional businesses.
Ashcombe Landscapes & Gardens and Ashcombe Cleaning Co. are fictional businesses created specifically to demonstrate what Provelopment Foundation can do. The websites themselves are real, live implementations. The businesses, addresses, prices and operating details are demonstration material rather than customer information. They are not customers or case studies, and no business result is claimed from them.
Start with what you need. Grow when you need more.
You do not need an international website just because the platform can build one. The value of Foundation is that you can start with the website that makes sense for your business or organisation today, while keeping the ability to add more languages, locations, content and capability if your needs change later. Provelopment can build and look after that website for you, or you can use the open-source Foundation project independently.
