Hi, I’m Joost, a guitar-playing web developer who loves designing responsive, high-converting websites and webshops

Responsive design

WordPress development

Webshops

Audio engineering

Optimized
websites

Fast, conversion-focused websites built around your results. Fully responsive, SEO-ready and optimized for speed, so visitors stay longer and turn into customers.

Custom WordPress

No off-the-shelf templates. Every site is built from scratch in WordPress, tailored to your brand and goals, and easy for you to manage yourself.

Quality control

Clean code, a pixel-perfect design and thorough testing on every device. Secure, reliable and built to last, with attention to detail from first sketch to launch. Using AI, but not vibe coding.

About me

From 2013 until 2018, I studied at the Fontys Hogescholen based in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. Here, I learned everything about webdesign and webdevelopment. I also learned to work with different front- and back-end frameworks, like Angular and Laravel. During this period, I also followed a minor course in English Language and Culture. I graduated in 2018 as a full-stack webdeveloper after finishing my research paper about workflow designers.

After some years of working as a webdeveloper, I decided to pursue another long-cherished dream of mine: to study at the Rockacademie in Tilburg. I studied there from 2020 until 2024. In 2024, I succesfully graduated as an audio engineer.

So next to being a professional webdeveloper, I’m also active in my spare time as a freelance musician and producer/audio engineer.

Skills

I enjoy turning ideas into websites that look great and work smoothly. From the first design to the final line of code, I like to think along about both the look and the technique, so the end result fits your needs exactly. Clean, clear and with an eye for detail.

AI supports my work, but the creativity and decisions stay mine.
