Website
Compagnie des Ports du Morbihan
I set up a WordPress Multisite network for the Compagnie des Ports du Morbihan: a central institutional site and 18 satellite sites, one for each harbour in the department. I also built a ReactJS widget that shows the real-time opening times of the Vannes lock, deployed on the site and at the harbour master's office.
