Project Origin

Garage V. Parrot, founded by Vincent Parrot in Toulouse, specializes in comprehensive automobile services including repairs, maintenance, and the sale of pre-owned vehicles. In today's digital age, a robust online presence is vital. Our platform reflects the excellence and reliability of our services while incorporating innovative features and a futuristic twist. A local mechanic, this project was designed as a hands-on demonstration for my studies at STUDI, the online French web developer school. It served as a practical exercise to showcase modern web development skills.
