Stamford Santa Fun Run

I built this website for the Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley in 2009 to facilitate online entries to their annual Santa Fun Run event.

I originally designed and developed it from scratch on top of a Content Management System (CMS) I wrote in PHP as a university project. I migrated it to Laravel in 2014 and have kept it up-to-date ever since.

It currently runs on Laravel 11. Feature highlights include:

• A custom multi-page event entry flow implementing Vue.js for dynamic elements
• PayPal and Stripe integrations for entry payments
• An admin control panel built with the Filament UI framework, enabling event organisers to open or close the event, manage users, manage entrants and teams, and edit content
• A data-driven permission system built on Laravel’s Authorization system
• An account management frontend for users to manage their address information, entries, teams, and other account details
• Transactional email delivery with Postmark integration
• A custom, fully responsive design

The event is now organised by the Stamford Striders running club and I work with them to deliver new features, fixes and improvements to the website year-on-year.
