Building ilusievent.com: A Seamless Event Management Platform
ilusievent.com is a dynamic platform designed to revolutionize the way events are managed and experienced. This project was brought to life using a powerful stack that includes Laravel, Inertia.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and Midtrans, ensuring a robust, user-friendly, and visually appealing website.
The Vision
ilusievent.com aims to be a comprehensive event management solution that caters to both event organizers and attendees. The platform is designed to facilitate event creation, promotion, and ticket sales while providing attendees with an easy and enjoyable way to discover and participate in events.
The Technology Stack
To meet the demands of this ambitious project, I chose the following technologies:

- Inertia.js: Inertia.js bridges the gap between Laravel and React, enabling a modern single-page application (SPA) experience without the need for a traditional API.
- React: Leveraged for building dynamic and responsive user interfaces, React allows for the creation of reusable components that enhance the user experience.
- Tailwind CSS: This utility-first CSS framework enables rapid styling and ensures a consistent and modern design across the platform.
- Midtrans: Integrated as the payment gateway, Midtrans handles secure transactions, providing a seamless and reliable payment experience for users.
