04 —Reading the current site
Products, industries, languages — what the redesign has to respect.
How to read this
The redesign keeps every element and every piece of content. What changes is what they’re built from — which makes this list a checklist, not a guess. The product and industry pages here, plus Home, Pricing, Support and Contact, are the first scope — the 17 pages this project rebuilds first; the rest of the site is decided afterwards. And the limits below aren’t obstacles: they’re the connections (the content system, translations, account area, integrations) the new components will plug into and respect. Everything here we could see from the outside, to be confirmed together with the Pix4D team in week 1.
Shared page frame
The parts every page shares. The language switcher is the quiet challenge: eight languages means every component has to hold up when translated — longer words, different line breaks, same layout.
Product pages
Eight product lines, each with its own page and its own story — but all needing the same parts: a banner, feature sections, product cards, calls to action. One page template, eight products using it.
Industry pages
Five industries that present the same products to different audiences. They reuse the same parts as the product pages — banners, cards, proof sections — aimed at a different reader.
Content pages
The editorial half of the site. Blog cards, training, and support all pull their content from the content system — so these components have to handle whatever Contentful sends them.
What the current setup already requires
Gatsby 5
The current site is built on Gatsby 5. The new library either lives inside it or comes with a plan to move off it — and that decision is made with the engineering team, not for them.
Contentful
Content lives in Contentful. The components display that content — so the way each component is set up and the way content is structured have to be designed together.
8 languages
Every component ships in eight languages. Longer text, right-to-left scripts, and local formatting are built in from the start, not added later.
Localize
Text changes length and shape once it's translated. Components have to hold up with the translated text, not just the English — so layouts are tested with the longest version, not the prettiest one.
Account area
The site sits alongside logged-in areas and existing connections to other tools. The redesign respects those edges — the library serves the public site without breaking what's connected to it.
The component list — already live today
These components already exist on pix4d.com. The redesign rebuilds them in the new system — same elements, same content, new foundation.
Next
That’s the what. The next phase is the why — the goal behind the redesign, and the way of working it sets up.
