Project
Slow Fashion Movement NL
An independent platform with a self-hosted CMS, giving the editorial team full autonomy.
The challenge
Slow Fashion Movement Netherlands needed to step out of the shadow of shared infrastructure and run a platform of its own, one where the editorial team owns its content, its data and its publishing rhythm, without depending on third parties.
The approach
I architected and built an independent platform on Next.js with a self-hosted Strapi CMS as its backbone.
- Self-hosted Strapi giving the team complete editorial autonomy
- Structured content models for articles, campaigns and community pages
- A fast, accessible front end that puts long-form editorial content first
- Ongoing collaboration: the platform grows as the movement does
The result
A platform the movement genuinely owns. The editorial team publishes independently, and the foundation is in place to keep expanding. This is an ongoing partnership.
