In 2015 the client came with a site written in plain PHP, needing a redesign and a major expansion of features. The webshop had to integrate with several payment providers and the lesser-known Tharanis business-management system, while a steady stream of custom development requests kept coming. It also required a content editor for a weekly magazine and for the landing pages supporting monthly newsletter campaigns. A powerful search — the primary driver of purchases — was a top priority.

The site first received a Symfony 1.4 rewrite, then — three years ago — a full rewrite on Symfony 6 that also brought a significant boost in page-load speed; the front-end is built on Vanilla JS. For search, after extensive tuning I built a custom MySQL-based search logic that satisfies both the client and its customers. I integrated the payment providers and the Tharanis system, support the magazine and landing pages through a built-in content editor, and kept SEO front and center throughout development.
