Made a redesign of the wozwaardeinfo.nl site. Try­ing to have an out­put of one site per week, this one is the fourth install­ment. I call it my “white hat link farm” prin­ci­ple. Build­ing upon the strongest of SEO prin­ci­ples: link build­ing, I decided the best thing would be to cre­ate my own clus­ter of sites […]

After buy­ing the SEO tool Mar­ket Samu­rai and play­ing around with it a bit, we thought of mak­ing the site GoudenGoud.nl with the sole pur­pose of mak­ing money with the help of Adsense.

It’s kinda stu­pid when you sell web­sites but you don’t have a web­site your­self. Com­mon prac­tice is to put your cre­den­tials in the footer of every site you make, but we didn’t have a site to link to. It was one of the main rea­sons I cre­ated our cor­po­rate web­site NexusStudios.nl. Besides this site it’s […]

I once was a illus­tra­tor for fash­ion mag­a­zines. Now I work part-time at a small com­pany where very recently my job title changed into “senior web designer”.

I’ve been brows­ing the web search­ing for a way to add thumb­nails to my excerpts. When­ever I myself am look­ing through archives, cat­e­gories or what have you the first thing that’ll stand out is the actual image dis­played with the blog post. It’s one thing to make excerpts in the first place, enhanc­ing the user […]

This is actu­ally the fourth design of my per­sonal web­site. Recently I talked to some­one who said he’d vis­ited my web­site and liked the design, but say­ing it was obvi­ous I didn’t make it myself. I believe that is prob­a­bly the best com­pli­ment any­one can give to you while at the same time man­ag­ing to […]
