Sciné-Fi Festival

The festival's website and its complete admin: the team edits the program, the guests, the films and even the colors, then switches the site to “after the festival” mode, without a developer.

The need

A team of volunteers who need to change everything themselves, from the program to the colors, right up to the last night of the festival. Ticketing stays with the cinema: every screening on the site leads to the right page.

What I built

  • Site content

    18 editable sections, with fields labeled in French for the team: info banner, prices, FAQ, practical info, footer.

  • Program

    One panel per day. Time slots reorder in one click, highlights stand out on the site, and any slot can be hidden.

  • Guests, films and exhibitors

    Each list has its own screen, with photo, order and status. Every film links to its screening in the cinema's ticketing.

  • Look

    Five ready-made color themes, fine-tuning for each of the six colors and a live readability check.

  • Blog

    Visual editor, preview before publishing, and posts scheduled for a given date.

  • Launch and after the festival

    A waiting page before launch, a private preview of the full site, then an “after the festival” mode with the photo gallery.

A program slot, from the admin to the website

  • On the website
  • Automatic
  • In the admin
  1. In the admin

    A volunteer adds a slot to Saturday and marks it as a “Highlight.”

  2. Automatic

    As soon as it's saved, the public website updates.

  3. On the website

    Visitors find it in the Saturday tab, featured, with its access badge.

  4. In the admin

    On the last night, one switch puts the site in “after the festival” mode.

  5. Automatic

    Booking buttons disappear, the photo gallery appears and the menu tightens up.

What happens on its own

  • The site updates the moment the team saves.
  • Uploaded photos are resized, turned the right way up and converted to WebP.
  • A post dated in the future stays hidden until that date.
  • Before launch, the site stays hidden from search engines, and the waiting page collects sign-ups.
  • Chosen colors are checked to stay readable.
  • The sign-up list exports and opens cleanly in Excel.

Under the hood

Figures counted in the project's code.

  • 19admin screens
  • 10tables, each with its own access rules
  • 0trackers, so no cookie banner
  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Supabase
  • Vercel
