A new site that doesn't require any specific elements can be put online very quickly, in less than a week. It's practical and, above all, highly efficient! The most time-consuming part of this type of site is the writing of the pages by the business.
One point to emphasise is that this platform has been designed with eco-design in mind: reuse of themes, views, content, administration sites, functional modules and hosting services.
So you've mainly reused existing developments. What's new, particularly in terms of integration with the government platform?
The only new thing is the site itself. Everything is already in place and all we've done is reuse previous developments. It's great to be able to launch a site so quickly.
This reuse approach does seem to work really well. Have you used the same method for similar projects, such as the site dedicated to the Tour de France 2024, for example?
In fact, it's exactly the same process as for the Tour de France 2024 site. Based on a commissioning sheet drawn up with and for the business (the Monaco Government's Digital Services Department), we gather all the information needed to set it up. We then follow a perfectly regular deployment process until the site goes online.
How do you ensure that each site, like this one, meets the performance and accessibility standards required by the government?
It's precisely because the platform offers these reusable tools that this site, like all the others we've integrated here, uses the same code base and therefore benefits from the same levels of performance and accessibility. Only the content entered by the contributors differs. When we improve the performance of a module or a page, all the sites benefit at the same time.
