Engineering a Multilingual Digital Hub for Sustainable Transformation
BAUM Consult is a premier European consultancy specializing in the integration of ecological, economic and social sustainability. With deep roots in German speaking countries, they support municipalities and global corporations in future proofing their structures. Dev Mechanix was tasked with transforming high fidelity Figma designs into a high performance, multilingual WordPress platform that serves as a thought leadership hub for sustainable development across Europe.

Translating a sophisticated Figma design into a live environment with 100% accuracy, ensuring that the brand’s aesthetic remained intact across all devices.
Synchronizing content between English and German without breaking layouts, particularly given the varying character lengths and sentence structures between the two languages.
Structuring a massive repository of sustainability reports, interdisciplinary team profiles and regional office data for easy navigation.
Maintaining fast load times across European locations while serving high resolution imagery and complex, interlinked resource libraries.
We utilized a modular approach within Elementor Pro, creating custom global widgets that mirrored the Figma design system. This ensured that any update to the “Sustainability Framework” section would reflect globally across the site.
We implemented the WPML (WordPress Multilingual) suite to handle the English-German switch. We engineered custom language switching logic that ensures a user stays on the exact same page/scroll-depth when toggling between languages.
To solve the German vs. English text expansion issue, we used advanced CSS Flexbox layouts that automatically adjust container heights, preventing the design from breaking when German words (which are typically 20-30% longer) are rendered.
Used Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to separate content from design. This allowed the BAUM team to update office locations and team credentials via a simple form which then populated the pixel-perfect front-end layouts.
We performed rigorous testing across multiple browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge) and operating systems to ensure all the UI screens are pixel perfect and browser compatible.
The final live site is a mirror image of the approved Figma design, upholding BAUM’s reputation for meticulous attention to detail
Achieved a friction free English-German toggle that preserves the user’s context and provides a localized experience for European stakeholders
Delivered a scalable structure where the BAUM team can add new locations and consultants in minutes through a simplified admin interface
Despite the heavy use of technical graphics, the site achieves high performance scores, ensuring a smooth experience for public authorities and corporate clients.
Acted as the bridge between the German design specs and the development team, ensuring every “Sustainability” module aligned with the client’s holistic vision.
Focused on the technical SEO and multilingual synchronization, ensuring the backend was as clean and organized as the front-end design.
Conducted deep user research and wireframing to create high-fidelity screens, focusing on intuitive user journeys and a pixel-perfect aesthetic that reflects the brand’s identity.
Performed Visual Regression Testing, comparing the live site sideby side with the Figma files to identify and correct any visual discrepancies.

This project highlights Dev Mechanix’s ability to manage high-stakes, mission-critical logic where data integrity is non-negotiable.
We proved that we can follow a pixel perfect design brief which is essential for brands where visual inconsistency equals a loss of trust.
Building a multilingual site is more than just translating text. It’s about engineering layouts that are language agnostic and logic heavy.
By optimizing the backend, we ensured that BAUM Consult’s digital footprint is as efficient and sustainable as the transformation strategies they provide to their clients.
