DPR Revamp

Problem Statement

DPR Revamp is a project that aims to completely overhaul the look and functionality of the sub-website of the House of Representatives (DPR) of the Republic of Indonesia. The project focused on providing a new look that is more modern, informative and accessible to the public. With a more attractive and pleasing design, the site is expected to improve the user experience for both the general public and internal parties. In addition to updating the visual aspect, DPR Revamp also includes navigation improvements and reorganization of information to make it clearer, easier to understand, and in line with the needs of public information transparency.

Solution And Approach

The developers decided to use PHP with the Laravel framework in this project. One of the main reasons is because Laravel not only supports backend development, but also provides support for the frontend through Blade, Laravel’s built-in templating system. Blade allows developers to create dynamic HTML pages more efficiently and structurally.

With Blade, frontend development can be done faster and integrated directly with the backend logic. In addition, the process of developing various sub-websites simultaneously becomes easier, because Laravel allows the reuse of the same template for multiple pages. This not only speeds up the development process, but also ensures consistency in appearance and functionality across the designed sub-websites.

Contribution

My contribution to this project as an apprentice backend developer was tracing and analyzing the previously developed frontend code, and then breaking it down into components that conformed to the structure suggested by Laravel. I made sure that each such frontend element was converted into modular components using Blade, Laravel’s templating system. Once these Blade components were successfully formed, I was responsible for integrating them efficiently, bringing each part together into a cohesive and functioning webpage. This process not only ensures that the frontend code is easier to maintain and update, but also speeds up the overall development process as these Blade components can be reused in different parts of the project.
