Implementation Plan

1. quixzoom.de → Setup Route53 + S3/CloudFront
2. quixzoom.fr → Setup Route53 + S3/CloudFront
3. quixzoom.in → Setup Route53 + S3/CloudFront
4. quixzoom.be → Setup Route53 + S3/CloudFront
5. quixzoom.ch → Fix content (DNS works, 404)
6. quixzoom.dk → Fix content (DNS works, 404)
7. quixzoom.fi → Fix content (DNS works, 404)
8. quixzoom.es → Fix content (DNS works, 404)

Phase 2: Build Multi-Language Corporate Site

• Single codebase on quixzoom.com
• Locale-based routing (/en/, /sv/, /de/, etc.)
• Shared components, localized content
• Consistent footer across all locales

Phase 3: Update All Footers

• Show ALL active markets
• Show "Coming soon" for planned markets
• Language selector + Region selector
• Consistent across all domains

Phase 4: Regional Domain Strategy

• Decide: keep regional domains or redirect all to .com?
• Microsoft redirects all to microsoft.com/en-us/, etc.
• Apple keeps regional domains (apple.se, apple.co.uk)
• Decision needed from Erik/Johan
