Web Design

This is a selection of different web pages I created. Most sites were created while working for some company during the summer holidays. There are pages in pure HTML, pages in PHP as well as in ASP .NET. Personally I prefer PHP as scripting language, mainly because of its high flexibility.

Since my current scholarship forbids me any additional job, this list is not going to evolve much until 2011, except maybe for some university-related projects.

Bugz! Bug management system

Work of 2007. Ficos Information Technologies

Bugz! is a custom-built support-ticket and bug management system developed for internal use at Ficos Information Technologies. Before Bugz! was put in place, the company used mainly Bugzilla to manage development tickets and another system, Flyspray, for the management of support tickets. The problem with this setup was that both systems tended to be out of sync, things would get lost and so on. Thus it was decided to implement a new system, lightweight and custom-built. The main objective of this system would be to manage the correct flow of information from sales people to developers and back.

This system became Bugz! It can manage multiple projects, enforces a strict workflow for each ticket/sub-ticket and is integrated into subversion (commits on tickets are automatically traced). It is written in PHP on top of the CodeIgniter PHP framework, uses the Prototype Ajax library (as well as script.aculo.us) and a mysql database as backend.

www.chouffe-club.net Der Chouffe*Club

Work of 2006. Private & friends usage (community site)

The Couffe*Club is basically my circle of friends. Being all more or less internet addicts, we usually plan weekends and the like on our website. This site is thus a community site, and features things like an event planner, picture galerys, a news blog as well as a forum. It has a Web 2.0 look and feel and was the first occasion for me to rely completely on alpha-channel transparent PNG images, despite their low support in IE6 and below, knowing that everybody that's supposed to use the site also uses Firefox. Most content is, however, only accessible to registered users.

On the technical side, the site is backed by an e-Curator CMS for blog, event and gallery management and features a custom designed PhpBB board.

www.sarah-born.be Professional Art Restoration

Work of 2006. Christmas Gift

This site was the 2005 Christmas gift for my girlfriend, who is a professional art restaurer. The site features harmonizing colors and nice graphical work.

As of 2006, the site has been largely redesigned. It contains a curriculum vitae, a gallery as well as detailed descriptions of references, like restaured paintings and Icons. The page is bilingual: French and German.

www.vd-immo.be VD-Immo Real Estate Agency

Work of 2006. At Ficos Information Technologies, in collaboration with Ralph Stadtfeld

This is the website of a real estate agency based in St.Vith. It has been on the net since 2002 but saw a complete redesign in the summer of 2006. It displays the agency's current offers as well as pictures of sold items. The site features a strong Web 2.0 look and feel. The design is completely CSS based, and meant to be as usable/accessible as possible. All items are displayed in different categories and languages, and managed by a powerful e-Curator back-end.

www.acrotechnologie.be/shop Acrotechnologie WebShop

Work of 2006. At Ficos Information Technologies

This is the web shop of a Belgian provider for climbing security equipment, like carbines, ropes and stuff like that. The company uses Hit-Office as ERP software, in order to manage stock, quotations and so on. The particularity of this web shop is that it is managed via Hit-Office. In fact, it's content is a partial replica of the company's ERP resources. Thus nobody at Acrotechnologie has to bother about managing a separate web shop, because they can do everything within their usual ERP software.

The web shop we used is a widespread open source web shop called osCommerce. My task was first to properly install the web shop with all necessary upgrades, and to adapt it to the customer's needs. Then we had to analyse the database structure and to check it against the database structure of Hit-Office. Finally I wrote a synchronisation tool in C++ which uploads all products and images from the company's ERP into the web shop.

www.ficos.com Ficos Information Technologies

Work of 2005. At Ficos Information Technologies, in collaboration with Ralph Stadtfeld

Ficos is a Belgian IT company and hosting provider best known for it's ERP solution Hit-Office. When I first joined Ficos in 2003, I did a first redesign of their homepage. The homepage has since been revised, and then in 2005 it has been redesigned completely. The page is written in PHP and it is now based on an e-Curator CMS which greatly simplifies administration. It includes features like on-line booking of domain names, a domain availability check and so on. The pictures on the start page were taken by Ralph Stadtfeld, the design was done by me.

www.hit-office.com Hit-Office ERP software

Work of 2005. At Ficos Information Technologies, in collaboration with Ralph Stadtfeld

Hit-Office is an ERP software which was developed specially for the construction industry. The website contains a presentation of Hit-Office and its different modules as well as a protected customer area where customers can download updates and plugins for their software. My part in this project was both the design of the page and it's programming which was all done in PHP. The beautiful pictures were all taken by Ralph Stadtfeld. The page is backed by an e-Curator CM system.

www.tnl.lu National Theater of Luxemburg

Work of 2004. Developed from scratch for the National Theater of Luxemburg as a student project.

This project is a PHP only page which relies heavily on a database. The page is equipped with an e-Curator content management system covering all back-end and administrational requirements. It's a splendid example of how e-Curator can boost productivity and lower administration costs without being a big investment. I did all the programming as well as the database design. The design of the page is heavily inspired by it's previous version. The central element of the page are the plays. Those plays belong to categories which themselves depend on a given season. There is only one active season, but all past plays have to be archived. Each play has also dates on which it will be presented, it has it's own picture gallery, it has press articles and press pictures. All this is handled by the e-Curator system.

www.expomobile.be Vendor of mobile exhibition stands

Work of 2004. At Intec Software Engineering, in collaboration with Frederic Andre

This was the first web page that I designed for Intec Software Engineering. This work is complete HTML, the colours come from the client's logo and from the prospectus of his products. The icons were designed by Frederic Andre.

www.genten.be Genten machines stock

Work of 2004. At Intec Software Engineering, in collaboration with Frederic Andre

This project has been realized in ASP .NET. The main part of the page is a web shop that is linked to the customers trading software (Trade-In, which is also developed by Intec Software Engineering). His local database and pictures are periodically synchronized with the web server. The main part of the ASP project was developed by a colleague, I did primarily debugging and the database replication stuff.
