Features

  • Site for the Bulgarian Association of Sinologists, a voluntary academic association of scholars, researchers and translators working on Chinese language, history and culture, headquartered at Veliko Tarnovo University.

  • Built on an Elementor template, adapted to the association’s identity and content rather than used as-is.

  • Bilingual from the start, in English and Chinese — the audience is international, so the site had to address scholars outside Bulgaria as directly as those inside it.

  • WordPress with Elementor, giving the association a visual editor for pages they maintain themselves.

  • Polylang handling the English and Chinese versions, with a language switcher and separate URL structures per language.

  • Page content editable directly in Elementor, without developer involvement.

  • News and events manageable from the admin as the association’s programme develops.

  • Both language versions editable side by side through Polylang.

  • English and Chinese language versions, with a switcher in the main navigation.

  • News and events section covering conferences, lectures and association milestones.

  • Members section presenting the association’s scholars.

  • Resources section pointing to archives, databases and academic support for sinological study.

  • Gallery documenting the association’s events.

  • Social media integration linking Facebook, X, Instagram and YouTube.

  • Contact routes for scholars looking to join or collaborate.
