Despite the storm, members and partners from across the sector showed up, once again demonstrating the strength and commitment of the circus community.<br\/><br\/><br\/>The presentation provided an opportunity to share the reflections and key decisions that guided the website redesign, as well as to introduce the new member portal, a central tool for supporting the development and visibility of our artists.  <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A website designed for long-term growth<\/h3>\n\n<p>The choice of tools, including Airtable and WordPress, allows for greater compatibility with partner platforms such as Sc\u00e8ne Pro, supporting data circulation and increasing the visibility of artists and organizations. This architecture also provides a solid foundation for the future integration of advanced research tools and reference systems such as ISNI and Wikidata. <br\/><br\/>Designed as an evolving ecosystem, the website will be able to integrate new programs and features over time, while allowing En Piste to maintain full autonomy in its management and ongoing development.<br\/><br\/>The website redesign aims to provide greater visibility for members by highlighting their practices and professional paths, while also making it easier to build connections within the community. From an administrative perspective, the portal now supports credit card transactions and automated processes that streamline membership and provide immediate access to services, reducing errors and easing the burden of manual tasks. New membership applications are also centralized and reviewed through a dedicated interface, offering greater clarity and efficiency for all parties.  <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A portal designed to highlight and support the community<\/h3>\n\n<p><br\/>The website redesign aims to provide greater visibility for members by highlighting their practices and professional paths, while also making it easier to build connections within the community.
