MGT France

MGT France is an international freight forwarder and logistics company operating in the Lyon area. It offers road and air freight, express van delivery, project and out-of-gauge cargo, part loads (LTL), warehousing and customs clearance, with regular routes between France, Europe and Turkey. I, Berke Özyaşar, built this website for MGT France as a client project.

The need

The company's customers are in France, while its partners and part of its operations are in Turkey. That meant the site had to be multilingual from day one: French as the main language, plus English, Turkish and Spanish. Making sure search engines matched each language with the right page was just as important.

What the site includes

• 10 service pages: road freight, Europe, France–Turkey, air, express, project cargo, part loads, freight brokerage, warehousing and customs clearance
• A service area page describing the regular routes between Lyon and Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Mersin
• An online freight cost estimator
• Quote request, news, about us, careers, partnership and digital tools pages
• A full-screen video hero showing the company's branded truck
• Legal notice and terms and conditions pages

Technical approach

I built the site with static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and wrote a custom client-side translation layer that loads language files. Pages can switch between French, English, Turkish and Spanish, and every page is linked to its counterparts in the other languages with hreflang tags. Because it needs no server-side code, hosting and maintenance stay simple.

For multilingual corporate websites, see the web development page. My other sites in the logistics sector are Valor Lojistik and EKA Gümrükleme. The site is live at mgtfrance.com.
