Agoraweb Platform

Introduction

Between 2013 and 2020, the rise of social media networks made it crucial to be visible on multiple platforms. However, managing multiple profiles, regular postings, and maintaining an online image was time-consuming. Agoraweb was created to streamline this process, similar to Hootsuite, by allowing users to manage their communication across all social networks from one platform.

Project Scope

Agoraweb offered a comprehensive solution for social media management:

  • Unified Publishing: Users could prepare and schedule posts with all necessary details (images, text, hashtags, links, events) for multiple platforms simultaneously.
  • API Integration and Parsing: Utilized social media APIs where available or parsed websites directly when APIs were not provided, to automate the publishing process.
  • Specialization for Associations: Over time, Agoraweb specialized in serving associations, adding features like member management, donation management, internal communication tools, and event management.

Technical Implementation

  • Framework: Developed using robust back-end technologies.
  • Database: SQL for handling extensive data management requirements.
  • APIs and Parsing: Integrated various social media APIs and developed web scraping tools for platforms without APIs.

Features

  1. Social Media Management:
    • Unified platform for scheduling and publishing posts across multiple social networks.
    • Comprehensive post preparation, including images, text, keywords, and links.
  2. Association Management:
    • Member management: Track and manage association memberships.
    • Donation management: Simplify and monitor donation processes.
    • Communication tools: Facilitate internal communication within the association.
    • Event management: Organize and promote events effectively.

Conclusion

The Agoraweb platform highlights my ability to develop complex, multi-functional applications that cater to specific client needs. By automating social media management and providing specialized tools for associations, I delivered a solution that saved time and improved the effectiveness of online communication strategies.
