Practical and Sustainable System

Practical Interface

simple practical customized automated

Managing a website can be challenging. I develop, in collaboration with Fuut(ouvre un nouvel onglet), Content Management Systems (or CMS) based on WordPress that are easy to use, customized and automated as much as possible.

The goal is to offer you real autonomy, by equipping you with a practical tool that allows you to invest your time, energy and financial resources for good use.

Who Is Fuut?

Since 2008, Wies Hermans, owner of Fuut, works as a designer/developer, mainly for museums, dance and theatre companies. He now develops websites as well as designing them—staying up to date with all new technological advances and always on the lookout for new and interesting ways to interact online. Since 2018, we have been joining forces on many projects.

Sustainable Method

sustainable upgradable robust

Our websites are hand coded according to the industry standards in PHP, HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and plugins designed by third parties are selected with care if not avoided at all.

We do our best to offer affordable and long-lasting websites. By avoiding the functioning of the website depending on external services, we can facilitate its evolution at the pace of new technologies.

Maintenance After Launch

After going live, the website is carefully maintained to remain robust and aligned with new technologies. I offer full technical support on an annual contract basis.

You also have access to a Member Inclusive area, where you can find guides and resources focused on web accessibility to help you manage your website in the best way.

Inclusive and Accessible Communication

Inclusive Content

inclusive multilingual practical accessible

I collaborate with illustrators to create inspiring images that celebrate diversity, representation, validation and freedom. Although I am not an illustrator by profession, I also draw sometimes.

I give you the right tools to manage your content and use inclusive writing that is also web-accessible. English is relatively inclusive in nature, but it is interesting to know that the midpoint · [in French] and the asterisk * [in German] are insufficient solutions for the web!

Multilingual Made Simpler

If you ever managed a multilingual website, you know how it can be challenging. To remedy this problem, we developed a module that allows certain pages to be translated without constraints. The website can be designed in one language or bilingual and some specific contents can be translated into additional languages, without losing overall consistency.

Accessible Web

accessible perceivable usable understandable

Beyond the technical challenge, it's a mindset to adopt—and a team effort; not only does code and design have to meet some standards, but so does the content, so you have your part to play!

The Member Inclusive area gathers guides and resources focused on web accessibility to help you manage your website in the best way.

Additionally, I set up a compact and fun workshop that covers the basics and help you get rid of clumsy initiatives when editing the content on your website. This workshop was already presented to Bøwie Gender Projects Incubator(open a new tab) successfully.

A11Y, What is it?

Web accessibility (or A11Y) allows people with impairments—visual, auditive or cognitive—permanent or temporary—to navigate the web easily. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA(open a new tab)) define a series of principles to be applied to ensure that a website is perceivable, usable and understandable for everyone. I incorporate these principles into the core of my approach.

Fair Collaboration

Horizontal Management

horizontal empowering flexible fair

Every project is planned over a specific period of time, in a rigorous and flexible way to ensure both the achievements of objectives and pleasant working conditions for all.

I want to offer a service that reflects my values. I want us to be a team! I wish to lead my collaborations according to feminist values, borrowed from empowerment where the ideas and skills of the whole team are listened to and taken into account.
