Overview

This project was a collaborative effort to develop a comprehensive website and online shop specializing in fireplaces. Throughout the project, I enhanced my skills in several key areas, including team collaboration, client communication, and technical expertise. The primary technologies utilized were WordPress, Symfony, Timber, PHP, JavaScript, and SCSS. Our task was to translate visual design concepts into functional website components, creating reusable blocks for consistent application across the site.

Solution

To address the client's needs for a combined informational site and e-commerce platform, our team implemented a multifaceted solution. We chose WordPress for its robust content management capabilities and extensive plugin ecosystem, while Symfony was employed for backend functionality, ensuring a scalable and maintainable codebase. Timber was integrated to bridge the gap between WordPress and Twig, facilitating clean and manageable templates. On the frontend, we developed dynamic, reusable blocks in JavaScript and SCSS, ensuring a consistent and responsive user experience. Additionally, we incorporated external libraries to enhance functionality and streamline development processes.

The online shop was seamlessly integrated within the website, creating a cohesive experience that combined the informational content about fireplaces with e-commerce capabilities. This integration ensured that the shop was user-friendly and visually aligned with the rest of the site. Regular communication with the client was maintained to ensure their vision was accurately realized, and technical explanations and updates were provided to facilitate a transparent development process.

Results

The project yielded a professional, user-friendly website and online shop that met all client specifications. The use of reusable blocks and responsive design principles resulted in a site that is intuitive and easy to navigate, while the seamless integration of the shop with informational content provided a cohesive user journey. Mastery of WordPress, Symfony, Timber, and PHP was demonstrated through the successful implementation of complex features, and significant experience was gained in JavaScript and SCSS, leading to efficient and effective frontend development.

This project fostered strong team collaboration, leveraging diverse skill sets to achieve a common goal, and effective client communication ensured alignment with project objectives and client satisfaction. Overall, this project not only resulted in a high-quality website and online shop but also significantly advanced my technical and professional skills, preparing me for future challenges in web development.
