Project - Building a Modern Web Presence from Scratch

Overview

Donkerzon required a professional web presence built with modern tooling and a focus on performance and maintainability. I handled the full development lifecycle — from architecture decisions to a production-ready deployment.

Tech Stack

Backend — Symfony

The backend is powered by Symfony, providing a robust foundation for routing, templating, and any future API needs. Symfony's component-based architecture ensures the application stays modular and testable as requirements evolve.

Frontend — TypeScript, SASS & Tailwind CSS

The frontend combines three complementary technologies:

• TypeScript for type-safe, maintainable client-side logic.
• SASS for structured, reusable stylesheets where custom design work was needed.
• Tailwind CSS for rapid utility-first styling, keeping the markup expressive and the CSS bundle lean.

This hybrid approach gives the best of both worlds — Tailwind for speed and consistency, SASS for complex or bespoke components.

Key Highlights

• Performance-first approach — optimized asset pipeline, minimal JavaScript footprint, and efficient server-side rendering via Twig templates.
• Responsive design — fully responsive across all device sizes, built mobile-first with Tailwind's breakpoint system.
• Maintainable codebase — clear separation of concerns between backend logic, templates, and frontend assets, making future development straightforward.
