Problem
The club needed a bilingual website that non-technical members could manage on their own.
Solution
A 9-page site and an admin panel. Members manage events, news, the team and galleries themselves, and the English version is translated automatically.
What I did
- Built a 9-page bilingual (AZ/EN) site for the club on my own and launched it at wittyminds.com.az.
- Built an admin panel with Payload CMS: members manage events, news, the team, galleries and site settings without touching code.
- Wrote automatic translation with DeepL: saving Azerbaijani text fills in the English version, keeps rich-text formatting, never overwrites manual edits and never makes the admin wait.
- Protected 4 public forms (membership, suggestions, contact, event sign-up) with a honeypot, per-IP limits, server-side Cloudflare Turnstile and validation.
- Added seat limits and closing times to event sign-ups, and blocked duplicate sign-ups at the database level.
- Deployed on Vercel, Neon Postgres and Vercel Blob: migrations run during the build, admin changes update the site immediately, with a sitemap and hreflang.
