Website Lydia Wierenga

Some time ago I designed and built a website voor Lydia Wierenga, a visual artist and friend. I have always really liked her work and recently she started making lots of new stuff. The website is powered by WordPress again and must be one of the most spartan designs I have made so far…

Oh no wait, this is actually more like minimal maybe. This design (oldie but goodie) is spartan.

WILLIE is back (and needed a website)

Good news! After lying dormant for quite some time, WILLIE is now back on it’s feet again and reclaimed it’s place in Havenkwartier Deventer. WILLIE is a collective of artists, designers and alike to which I have happily dedicated lots of time and effort in the past and as it now seems, will happily continue to do so in the future. Read more about WILLIE’s comeback and mission statement overhere.

Since WILLIE’s old website had already died and couldn’t be revived, I designed and built this new one, based on the old WILLIE logo by Bart Folmer. It’s a WordPress based website, with lots of hidden and automated extra’s. And I’m quite proud of it! Especially when taking into consideration that this website had to be realized on very short notice.

Due to my vacation I couldn’t spend as much time as I would have liked on realizing the new WILLIE bar interior, but that turned out great too! So come take a look when you get the chance. We’re open every Friday (17:00-1:00) and Sunday (15:00-23:00). Check the website for the complete agenda.

Revamped website for Sandra Smets

I recently made some small adjustments to a web design I made years ago (2006), before the exploding social media era and before I started exploring WordPress. It’s the personal website of journalist and art critic Sandra Smets, who mainly writes for NRC Handelsblad.

In my humble opinion this design has survived the test of time just fine. It was nice to hear that Sandra thought so too, and was still very happy with it. The site just needed some tweaking to make sharing easier. Also Google changed it’s code for personalized search over the years, and this happened to break the search functionality all together. All is up and running again. The contents make for some  interesting reading too, so go check it out already.

Sandra also asked me to design some stationary for her. Working on that now.
