Overview
Alexandre Patron is an independent researcher specializing in philosophy, logic and artificial intelligence. He had an HTML/CSS model designed with a minimalist and careful design – geometric symbols, precise typography, strong visual identity. But the site was entirely static: each update required editing the files directly.
My mission was exclusively technical: take this model as is and transform it into a living site, without touching the design, by adding all the missing dynamic layer.
The challenge
Alexandre Patron had a static HTML/CSS model with a careful design, but without any dynamics: the contents were frozen in the code, impossible to update without touching the files. He needed a living site, maintainable independently, available in French and English, with management of his tests, his influences and his current projects.
« The design already existed - we had to give it a technical soul without betraying the initial visual intention. »
- Entirely static site, no updates possible without developer
- No multilingual management FR/EN/ES/RU/CH
- No back office to publish essays and research content
- Tag and filtering system absent
- No SEO structuring or dynamic metadata
The solution developed
I took charge of the entire technical part: transformation of the static model into a dynamic PHP site, development of the management back office, implementation of the multilingual system and integration of the database data.
- 01Static → dynamic transformation
Complete integration of existing HTML/CSS into a PHP MVC architecture without altering the visual rendering
- 02Multilingual system FR/EN
Automatic language detection, localized URLs, management of translated content in a database
- 03Tailor-made back office
Administration interface allowing the publication and management of essays, influences, "Now" projects and About/Contact pages
- 04Testing system with tags
Management of articles with metadata (date, reading time, thematic tags), dynamic filtering by tag
- 05Integration of academic identifiers
Connecting ORCID, OSF, Zenodo and LinkedIn via back office data
- 06SEO and metadata
Titles, descriptions and canonical tags dynamically generated per page and per language
The result obtained
The site went from a fixed static model to an autonomous, bilingual and maintainable publication platform. Alexandre Patron can publish his essays, manage his influences and update his current projects without any technical intervention, in both languages.
- Complete back office developed from scratch
- Test management with tags and filters
- 100% of the original design preserved
- Multilingual FR/EN/ES/RU/CH full
- Deployed and in production in 2026
Testimonial
The site reflects exactly what I wanted: an interface that does not impose itself, where the content remains at the center. The technical part is invisible - that's exactly the goal.
