Angliss's website,
rebuilt
in both its
languages.
www.angliss.com.hk introduces one of Hong Kong's largest food distributors — 71 brands, 1,371 products, recipes, a magazine, in English and Traditional Chinese. It had gone three years without a developer.
We took it over, then rebuilt the front end on the CMS Angliss already edits.

- Maintenance of the whole stack, and a new front end on the same CMS
A live site that
nobody could change.
Angliss's team was still editing pages, brands and recipes in the CMS — in two languages — but the front end had gone three years without a developer and no longer built on current tools.
The content was sound. What it needed was a front end that could be maintained, that showed every word, and that treated Chinese as a first language, not an afterthought.
A new front end
on the content Angliss
already has.
Every page of the site — Home, About, Business Channels, Affiliates, Brands, Products, Recipes, foodtalk, Events and Contact — rebuilt, reading the CMS live in the visitor's language.
Back to a working build
A front end dormant for three years builds again on current tooling, and every branch deploys on push.
The same CMS, a new front end
Pages, brands, recipes, events and the magazine are read live from the CMS Angliss already uses. Nothing is copied or frozen.
Two languages, one switch
An EN / 繁 switch on every page. Chinese comes from Angliss’s own Chinese records, not from a translation layer.
A product finder
Categories in Angliss’s own order, each opening to its sub-categories; search; product photos; a printable product list.
Every word on the page
Carousels and hover pop-ups are laid out flat, and pages render on the server, so people and search crawlers read everything.
Angliss keeps the pen
A new photo, a new brand or a new phone number entered in the CMS appears on the site within the hour. No deploy, no ticket.
The site sits on top of Angliss's own content — no copy to keep in sync, no second place to edit.
What the rebuild
gives Angliss.
A site that can change again.
The stack builds, deploys and runs where a fix can be tried on real content before it goes live.
Chinese at the same standard as English.
Every page, menu and product label exists in both languages, from the records Angliss maintains.
Products restaurants can find.
The full range filters by category and sub-category, searches by name, code or origin, and prints as a list.
Content stays with Angliss.
The team that already edits the CMS keeps editing it. The new site follows.
Not done yet
- The rebuilt site is a preview at /angliss. www.angliss.com.hk is unchanged until Angliss decides to switch.
- The CMS back end still runs on its original hosting; moving it is planned, not done.
- Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are not rebuilt — their text is not in the CMS.
Read the old site
before replacing it.
The product finder was rebuilt from the old site's own code — the category order, the way ticking a category ticks its sub-categories, the fields search looks in — not from a screenshot of it.
The Chinese site was measured before a line was written: every Chinese record has its own id, linked to its English twin, so the new site follows those links instead of guessing.
The same content, the same editors — a site that shows all of it.
Read live from Angliss’s CMS, refreshed hourly — nothing copied, nothing frozen.
English and Traditional Chinese, each from its own records, one switch on every page.
The product list prints without asking visitors for their details.
The site that introduces Angliss,
and the system that takes its orders.
Restaurants also order from Angliss through our order-management module. The website tells them who Angliss is; the ordering platform is where they buy.
