Recently built websites

At the same time that I took the course 'Get a New Job in UX Design' of the Interaction Design Foundation I built two websites: a website for the general practice Huisartsenpraktijk Valkenburg and a website for vocal coach Maurice Willems. Both websites were built with the content management system and static site generator Publii (you can read more about Publii here). When building the websites I had the role of developer and less that of a UX designer.

Open Source Software Directory

As an enthusiastic user of open source software, I created the Open Source Software Directory in 2008. The website lists the best and most promising open source software available on the internet. The focus is on end-user programs and less on system and application libraries. As of today, the websites includes more than 700 applications.
