### Speciclass

E-commerce, Migration, Redesign

#### The project

E-commerce website for a company specialised in archive boxes. The website is both informational about the company and the products, and an e-commerce platform selling the products.

A very stimulating project as I was in charge of the whole management and development. The main goal was to migrate the existing website from WordPress&WooCommerce to Prestashop in order to link the e-commerce platform with the company ERP. This migration had to keep all the features from the previous platform and add some new. This project was also the opportunity for a graphic redesign.

This project management was very interesting and busy. As a project manager I worked closely with the client to design the new website and features, I managed the budget, drafted the documentation, hired a graphic designer, communicated with the ERP's editor, and much more.

The development was also a very big part, with a very lot of custom modules. It was my first time working with Prestashop and I really enjoyed it, even if as they are transitioning to symfony, the coexistence of legacy code with new Symfony-based code made things quite hard sometimes. The website have a lot of features quite interesting to work on:

- Allow customers to create quotes from their cart and export them as PDF. This implies a lot of front-office and back-office features to manage and edit them, and make the quotes compliant with other features like stocks, emails...
- A back office per-weight and per-district shipping cost editable table, for auto-calculation of the shipping fee from ZIP code in front-office.
- Add some features to the Page system of the CMS to create a Blog section editable by the customer
- Allow customers to save their cart and edit/finish it later.
- Make order the order process compliant with some administrative institutions processes, through custom payment methods and allowing customers to add references on orders before payment.
- Discounts based on customer type and quantity ordered
- Custom templates for pages, products, accounts...
- Data formatting & compliance for connection with the company ERP (stocks, orders, customers...)
- Compliance with European General Data Privacy Reglementation (GDPR), especially regarding Analytics (using of Matomo instead of Google)
- Import some content from the previous website

### La Gonette

Blog/News, Customised UI

#### The project

Website for the non-profit organization maintaining local currency of Lyon (France), the "Gonette". The main purpose of the website is to provide the right information about the local currency according to the visitor's type, lead them to the adapted subscription process, and give some fresh news through tools like the blog. The back-office part is used by various people of the organization for adding or editing content, and have to be both user-friendly and secured.

This project was a team work with two other freelancers : a content manager and a graphic designer, working closely with the head of communication of the organization and their volunteers developers. We first worked together to design the website, with a special attention to accessibility and carbon footprint, then I focused on the technical part : configure the CMS, develop customized plugins and a tailored theme.

Some features I really enjoyed to develop:

- A dynamic directory to browse all the professional subscribers of the organization. The directory was searchable by name, activity, location, type, and filled from the association CRM through the WordPress API.
- Customized Gutenberg interface & blocks allowing the association employees and volunteers to publish content easily while conserving the graphic charter of the website. This was made possible in using the latest features from Gutenberg.

### #SansFiltre

Data visualisation

#### The project

Website displaying all the 149 laws proposals from the French Citizen Convention for Climate and their political consideration through time.

Based on a WordPress to have a user-friendly UI allowing some members of the Convention to add content by themselves. This project is a volunteer work that I fully developed alone, from the original idea of another Convention citizen. As I am always up for a challenge, I decided to build the pie chart without Javascript. This was fun.

Some other things I enjoyed coding:

- Various tools to filter content
- Auto-import laws and descriptions from the proposals website
- Custom fields on posts entities to allow sorting
- GDPR compliance and Legal notice drafting

Website allowing the registration to an annual international event and back-office tools to manage registrants and events. Also have an informational section about the organization and the next and pasts events.
