Client work
Skincare Hero
It started as a normal project, but then a really cool feature was added to it: a way to generate several posts with just the click of one button.

Skincare Hero is a blog that talks about several different skin products.
Another designer was responsible for the entire look of the website.
At first, it was just a normal project, but then an interesting challenge was presented. It was maybe the most complicated feature I've ever implemented on a website.
When I first started working on this website I had just one simple goal: to develop all pages that were previously designed in a responsive way. Nothing out of the ordinary.
The interesting part came later...
The client then asked for a new back-end feature. He wanted a way to auto-generate a large number of standardized blog posts listing the different products reviewed on the website. I couldn't find any existing tool to accomplish this goal, so my only choice was to create it from scratch.
Each product was set to a different type, category, and concern. Each list should contain a combination of these taxonomies, eg. Hydrating (type) Serums (category) for Sensitive Skin (concern).
If a new product was added, removed, or edited in the database, any list it could be present in is automatically updated.
With everything in place, I created a button in the website dashboard that automatically generates all possible posts. A post will only be generated if it respects three rules:
In the end, this new feature allows the client to create tens of different posts with a single click. All of the posts are then reviewed and edited by the client's team as they please.
