The main showcase

One estate, drawn to scale

One client's estate — nine public properties, seven of them reading from one platform — is the largest single piece of work here and the clearest example of it, not the whole of it. Every box below is live in production. The lines between show what each surface reads, and where it reads it from

  1. The platform Live in production

    The source of truth. Producers, products, evaluations, events, CRM, memberships and invoicing — every other surface reads from here.

    NestJS · Prisma · PostgreSQL · Redis

  2. Festival site Live in production

    The festival website. Exhibitors, programme, masterclasses and partners, published live from the platform.

    WordPress · PHP

    490
    exhibitors on one page
    6,400
    images
    0.11 s
    to serve the page

  3. Award catalogue Live in production

    The public catalogue. Its own database, fed by a versioned projection, with URLs that are never reissued.

    Next.js · PostgreSQL

    52,836
    products, published and searchable

  4. Brand site Live in production

    The brand site — a custom theme, put under version control and cleaned by symbol.

    WordPress · PHP

  5. Wine&Siena Live in production

    The Siena event’s site. A lean WordPress theme of its own, with the exhibitors read live from the platform.

    WordPress · PHP

  6. Buyers club Live in production

    The members' club. No framework, no stored member data, and no key that ever reaches a browser.

    PHP 8.3

  7. Company site Live in production

    The company’s own site. WordPress brought up to date, the theme made its own, three languages without the plugins that used to carry them.

    WordPress · PHP

  8. Vetrine & e-labels Live in production

    Producer showcases, product passports, and the EU e-label — a legal surface that ships no script and no cookie.

    Astro · SQLite

    24
    EU languages

  9. Companion app In build

    One binary for four audiences, offline-first. iOS and Android, currently in build for November.
