The CAS website (cas.org) is built and hosted on Webflow. The site was originally created on September 18, 2023, and has been continuously developed since then. It serves as the primary marketing and information hub for CAS products, services, content, and resources.
The site currently has approximately 600 pages, 40 CMS collections, and 176+ reusable components. It supports 6 languages through Webflow's native localization feature and is published to two custom domains.
The site is published to www.cas.org (primary) and cas.org (redirects to www). Last published: February 18, 2026.
The site uses Webflow's built-in localization with English as the primary locale and 5 secondary locales: Portuguese (pt-BR, /pt-br), Korean (ko-KR, /ko), Spanish (es-ES, /es-es), Chinese Simplified (zh-CN, /zh-hans), and Japanese (ja, /ja).
Translation workflows are managed externally through Smartling, which integrates with Webflow's localization API to push translated content into secondary locales.
