Web development & digital heritage
EuropChess
Web Developer & Project Owner
A website for EuropChess’s current community and a digital archive of the club’s history.
The need
Modernise the digital presence of EuropChess, the chess club associated with the European institutions in Brussels, while preserving its history and making its activities accessible to members and newcomers.
My contribution
As Web Developer & Project Owner, I personally designed, developed, implemented, tested and published the website. I structured the application and took responsibility for its architecture, navigation, interface, technical implementation and ongoing development. I translated the club’s requirements into working features and integrated the interactive components. Lovable, GitHub, VS Code and AI-assisted development tools supported coding and iteration; I retained ownership of technical and product decisions.

Preserving the club’s history
A central achievement was recovering, preserving, organising and digitally presenting EuropChess’s historical material. I brought historical photographs, tournaments, notable events, memorable moments and chess-related content together into a digital archive of the club’s heritage. The History section makes this material accessible and connects the club’s past activities with its present community, helping visitors explore its development over time.
What I built
A responsive website combining club information, activities, training sessions, tournaments, historical archives, photographs and interactive chess game replay functionality.
The result
A live website that serves both as a practical platform for the EuropChess community and as a digital home for the club’s history, bringing together current activities and its historical legacy.
Next steps
Continue expanding the platform with a Blog / News publishing system and structured information about current and historical club boards.
