GPPR — Groupement des Photographes
A French photography club's existing blog had aged poorly and required developer help for the smallest change. The president wanted a site that put the members' photographs forward, and — non-negotiable — let the committee publish without writing a single line of code.

The brief
The club had a working blog on a generic CMS that nobody enjoyed. Adding a new gallery was an ordeal. Changing a background colour required a support ticket. They wanted a site they could actually live with — and one where the photos got to breathe.
What was delivered
The maquette at gppr-site.vercel.app ships the five rubriques the committee asked for, plus a working CMS preview. The demo galleries are populated from members' real existing work so the bureau could review the rendering against actual photographs, not placeholder images.
The publishing model is the centrepiece: a committee member opens the editor, drops a few photos for a new member or an expo recap, and the page is live. The bureau keeps editorial control, I keep architectural responsibility.
Where it stands
The maquette is with the bureau for review. The next round folds in the rest of the existing site's content and the agenda. Full launch follows committee acceptance.
Key decisions
- 01Five rubriques mirroring the club's existing organisation: Accueil · Nos photographes · Expositions · Concours · La vie du club.
- 02Sanity-driven self-publishing so the committee can add new members, new galleries, new exposition recaps without engineering involvement.
- 03Demo content (Bernard, Dominique Garnier, Nicole Bureau, expos « Échappatoire » and « Regards sur la Namibie ») in the maquette so the client could judge with real photographs, not lorem ipsum.
- 04Architectural changes — new top-level rubriques, charter changes, new page types — stay with me. Day-to-day content is theirs.
