Case study

Essozimna — Laurent Komlanvi Bel

Website + community space

Laurent guides people toward inner awakening: meditation, journeys, courses. He needed an online presence as deep as his work, and a space to gather his members.

Essozimna — Laurent Komlanvi Bel
The context

Rich content (audio, immersive videos, courses, events) but scattered, with no home online. The challenge: a site that conveys the emotion of his approach, and a platform where his members live the experience.

A tool cut for him, not one more piece of software

A subscription hands you generic categories and a vocabulary that is not yours. Here the tabs carry Laurent's own words. His members' questions are sorted by the topics of his world, the body, energy, meaning and the path, not by a software taxonomy. The transfers he makes between his own accounts are recognised as such, because we read his statements. His checkout carries his brand. His user guide changes depending on who opens the page, him or his assistant. None of this is configured, it is built. His reaction: "the perfect tool I was missing, from here I can run everything".

Same story for
  • Coaches, therapists, trainers with an online community
  • Any business selling on its site and taking appointments
  • Anyone who wants to see their Stripe without logging into Stripe
  • Anyone no off the shelf software quite fits

How it works

A private page that reads his tools, nothing retyped
  1. 🧩01
    His tools, as they are

    Shop, bookings, community, forms, Stripe, his bank, YouTube.

  2. 📊02
    The dashboard page

    Reads his tables and his accounts directly, computes, groups. No data copied.

  3. 📱03
    Five tabs, on his iPhone

    Today, Members, Finances, Say, My site.

  4. 💬04
    His members write

    A question dropped privately, a comment under a video, a piece of feedback.

  5. 🎙️05
    He acts without leaving the page

    A voice message, an event, a session note, a live answer.

Already there What we built What he sees What Laurent does
What was asked
  • A custom site, true to his world, not a template
  • A space for online courses and programs
  • A private community for his members
  • An audio player and immersive videos
  • Event and payment management
What we delivered

The website

  • 15 custom pages built in HTML/CSS, integrated into WordPress
  • Immersive visual world (video hero, moods, transitions)
  • Courses, Events, Podcasts, Music, Approach, Inner Journey pages
  • Smooth, consistent navigation, mobile included

The community space

  • Private community with a feed, profiles and member exchanges
  • Sticky audio player, continuous listening while browsing
  • Program pages connected to payment (Stripe)
  • Self-service event booking
  • Purchase and refund automations validated end to end

The dashboard (2026)

  • A private page inside his WordPress, five tabs in his own words: Today, Members, Finances, Say, My site
  • Sales, appointments, members and messages read straight from his tools, nothing retyped
  • Create an event in one form: site calendar, registrations, member space, featured
  • Voice and video studio: he talks to a person or a group without leaving the page
  • Search a person by name or phone, full record in a side panel, without leaving the page
  • Icon on his iPhone, no extra subscription, data stays with him
  • A built in user guide, different depending on who opens the page

His finances, read only

  • His bank connected through the European PSD2 standard, read only, no transfer possible
  • Twelve months of history pulled and sorted, income, spending, Stripe payouts never counted twice
  • Transfers between his own accounts set aside: neither income nor spending
  • Stripe read only: balance, next payouts, monthly fees, appointments still unpaid
  • Expense notes on his phone: photo of the receipt, amount, category, filed
  • Accounting export in one click, ready for his accountant or for Pennylane
  • Several banks in the same page, and the move to Qonto already planned

His autonomy

  • He edits his site copy while seeing it, without touching code or layout
  • A finance only access for his assistant, with no access to the rest of WordPress
  • Which payment opens which access: he sets it himself, the member space opens on its own
  • Nothing to ask anyone to change a sentence or add an expense

Listening to his community

  • A private page where members drop their questions, which only he receives
  • Every question asked in a comment surfaces in one place, whatever the space
  • Each message is sorted by topic, using the vocabulary of his own world
  • The rhythm month by month, and what his members expect from him
  • One click on a topic reopens everything written about it, ready for a live session
  • Filing a question archives it into his history instead of making it vanish
