Web development & design

I'm a freelance webdesigner/developer. So far I've built and designed about a dozen websites, including basic static personal websites, dynamic webshops, corporate sites and complete multimedia database frontends. I mostly use the combination of Django/PostgreSQL/XHTML/CSS for developing websites and Photoshop/Inkscape/GIMP for design work. However, I've also used PHP, SQL, Smarty template engine, javascript/AJAX, Java etc.

See below for some examples of my work

Reusable Multimedia Database

I developed a system and web-frontend for distributing multimedia research datasets. The media and possible annotations are organized in a object-oriented system. Users can search for media containing certain characteristics (i.e. search for video of smiling people). The system was built in a reusable manner. This system has so far been deployed for the MMI Facial Expression Database and the SEMAINE project database.

Built on top of Django, using python's xml-minidom and FFMPEG for automatically parsing videos and annotations.

Ayers Rock

Ayers Rock is an activity centre in The Netherlands, featuring activities such as climbing, mountain biking, canoeing etc. They required a website that was easy to update and flexible enough to convey all the different activities in a structured way.

For this client, I developed and implemented a CMS in PHP/MySQL using the Smarty template engine. The client can easily manage all the different activities, add special offers etc. The design of this page was done by a different agency.

Decolites Christmas Lights Webshop

Decolites is a dutch company that sells a large variety of professional christmas and party lights. They needed a webshop that would have a professional look and feel, targeted at restaurants, hotels and municipalities. From the admin module, orders can be tracked, bills and envelopes printed, customers emailed etc.

I designed, planned and implemented this webshop from scratch in PHP/MySQL.
