Code Rush is a regular podcast about front-end design & development challenges in a fast-moving industry,

Website design & development

If you ask me to build a website, you get a designer for free. From the initial plans to service after delivery; I love to be involved from start to finish.

Everything you need

I like to think along about how the design comes into fruition. This way you also get the best experience with Statamic. I work for my own clients, but I also regularly look for collaborations with creative agencies and it is precisely this variety that makes me enjoy sitting (or standing) at my desk every day.

In 2020/2021 we worked together with Rob on the website of Climate Adaptation Groningen. A very nice and pleasant collaboration, where quality was paramount. Rob is knowledgeable, accessible, easy to contact, a thinker and when something is 'not possible', solutions are nevertheless sought together. In short, Rob is someone who recommends you with confidence.

I have worked with Rob on several projects and it was an excellent experience. Rob is an absolute expert, works quickly, precisely, transparently and provides proactive advice. Plus, the cms he uses is definitely one of the nicest systems I've come across.

More than what you asked for

I reduce the CO₂ emissions of my websites by reducing assets and keeping the bandwidth of a page visit as low as possible. Next to that, I think user privacy is one of the most important things. That's why I have two principles: I believe in not tracking user behaviour and in complying with the GDPR. I also have a big focus on usability and accessibility. At the same time, I understand that websites must perform well to contribute to marketing goals. Fortunately, managing your website is a piece of cake, because I know how you can use Statamic for this. That also applies to front-end development: I like to create that extra animation or that effect that benefits the User Interface.
