+ * Fields required by NRN to function properly by default (they can be hardcoded if you only have one Customer, or fetched from a DB if you have many)
+ * - 'ref': Identifier of the customer. Use by analytics, monitoring, etc.
+ * - 'availableLanguages': List of languages the website is available in, static pages will be generated for all listed languages.
