How Uniweb Makes Advanced Features Simple
Modern websites often need advanced capabilities such as multilingual support and site search. Traditionally, adding these features means wrestling with complex systems or juggling multiple services. Uniweb takes a different approach: making sophisticated features work naturally through smart automation, while giving you the flexibility to customize when needed.
Smart Integration with Components
At the heart of Uniweb’s approach is how these capabilities integrate with the smart components of the library powering your site. For example, when you enable site search or multiple languages:
A navigation bar component will automatically add language toggles if multiple languages are enabled
It will include search UI elements if site search is enabled
It understands your site hierarchy, including pages that opt out of headers or navigation
You can still add custom menu content for sites with more complex navigation needs
This intelligent integration means features appear where users expect them—without requiring manual configuration. Yet the components remain flexible: you can override these automatic behaviors or add custom elements as needed. For instance, some header components support custom content regions, allowing you to manage more intricate menus and layouts.
Multilingual Support: Natural Translation Workflows
Adding languages to your site shouldn’t mean doubling your workload. Uniweb’s multilingual support is an optional capability that seamlessly fits into your natural content workflow:
Smart Defaults with Manual Control
Per-element translation: Align content precisely between languages
Free-form translation: Create entirely different layouts or images for specific languages
Auto-translation: Optionally fill in missing translations automatically
Manual oversight: Always track which parts were machine-translated vs. manually edited
If you modify content in your primary language, any affected translations are automatically flagged for review. You decide when to use machine translation, manual updates, or even completely different content per language.
Site Search: Sophisticated Yet Simple
Professional-grade site search can be enabled just as easily. Uniweb’s approach ensures that indexing, relevance, and integration happen behind the scenes, so users and teams can focus on what matters:
Automatic Integration
Search UI automatically appears in navigation bars
The entire site is indexed, including both static and dynamic content
Results show context (page name, snippet of matching text)
Search analytics reveal user behavior and content gaps
Smart Context Awareness
Each site can have its own search, keeping results focused
Indexes update automatically whenever content changes
Analytics help you identify what users are (and aren’t) finding
The Power of Smart Defaults
Both multilingual support and site search illustrate Uniweb’s philosophy: smart defaults with optional complexity. This means you can:
Start Fast: Each feature works intelligently out of the box
Stay Simple: Common needs are handled automatically
Add Control: Override defaults or add custom elements as desired
Scale Naturally: Capabilities grow alongside your needs
The result? You get professional features on day one, maintain quality over time, and still have headroom for advanced customizations.
Beyond Individual Features
What makes these capabilities truly powerful is how they operate in harmony with the component library you’ve chosen for your site. Components automatically adapt, maintaining consistent quality and workflow simplicity. The integrated approach ensures:
Features appear where they should
Workflows remain natural and intuitive
Quality is preserved by default
Teams can focus on content, not setup
Looking Ahead
As websites become more sophisticated, striking a balance between automation and control becomes increasingly important. Uniweb’s approach ensures you can:
Start with professional quality
Add new capabilities when you need them
Maintain natural workflows
Scale without adding complexity
Whether you’re going multilingual for the first time or adding search to an established site, Uniweb’s smart capabilities enable you to start fast and go far—all without the headache of piecing together multiple services.
