Albania Magic
A platform connecting local Albanian businesses, tourists and the diaspora: listings, points of interest, per-user subdomains, five role types and premium subscriptions.
The problem
Albanian businesses are scattered across Facebook pages and phone numbers, while tourists and a large diaspora have no reliable place to find and contact them. Existing directories were thin, unmaintained and mostly untranslated.
What I built
A directory and tourism portal where businesses and individuals publish listings, points of interest appear on a map, and each account can run on its own subdomain or custom domain — effectively a small site per business inside one platform.
Roles and tenancy
Five role types share one codebase: administrators, business clients, locals offering services, diaspora members, and drivers. Each sees a different dashboard and a different subset of the data, enforced at the query level rather than in the interface.
Content architecture
Everything is modular — products, properties, services and projects share a listing spine with type-specific fields, so a new category does not need new tables. Premium subscriptions unlock visibility and extra modules.
Why it matters for client work
This is the project where the multi-tenant, multi-role, multi-language patterns I now reuse for client CRMs and CMSs were worked out in production, on real traffic.
