Joomla specialist

I first came into contact with Joomla in 2006. I developed my first website for my brother-in-law's company. Usability was one of the requirements for the website and that was the main reason why I chose this CMS at the time, on the recommendation of a friend. From then on, I developed into a Joomla specialist. The system has unprecedented possibilities and a lot of extensions, a clear interface and a huge community that is committed to making the system better and better.

Together we get the best result

I often work together with people from my network, such as graphic designers or SEO and Adwords specialists to get the best out of the project. Because my belief is that only together can we make your website a success!

Part of the community

Besides building websites and web shops, I develop my own extensions and am committed to the community as a translator of various extensions, I am a member of the Extensions directory team and the Certification Exam and Platform team.

I also regularly give presentations at JUGs and JoomlaDays about my experiences with Joomla

I have written the following blog articles for Joomlaommunity.com.
