What you need to know before launching a similar project, with a concrete example of what we built.
With custom back-offices and data modeling tailored to your content. That’s what TCM did for AFGC’s History & Heritage module.
By integrating a secure payment flow into the platform to collect memberships and online service fees. This lets AFGC manage its revenue independently.
TCM (The Coding Machine), a custom software development agency based in Paris, has supported AFGC on its WordPress platform, built with PHP and MySQL, since 2022.
WordPress offers a back-office that association teams pick up quickly, and a large ecosystem that keeps costs down. Combined with custom development (data modeling, custom back-offices, payment gateway), it also handles complex needs. It’s the choice made for AFGC, whose platform has been evolving since 2022 with no technical debt.
