New Website

After a some years of exclusively gaming and gaming and gaming, I discovered the computer had more uses. Thus I pressed some random buttons and well, here you see the end result. All right, maybe it was a bit more difficult than that but in the end it looks pretty right? This brings me to the next thing...

After creating my own website (http://www.sebasvisser.nl), and experimenting on some other things I was contacted by a good friends concerning his newly started enterprise. Although his business was still starting up, and things were going the way he wanted, he still felt there was a void that he didn't knew how to fill. What my friend needed was a simple, yet telling, strong but easy to view and fully featured website to advertise his business and inform visitors and (potential) clients. Thus after being convinced by my awesome skills for pressing random buttons and creating nice flashy and clean webdesigns I set out to create the perfect website as he envisioned it to be.

What I have done is take the power of Wordpress, the blogging software, and strip it down to simplify the website, yet retain all diversity and ease of use. Also this gave me the oppertunity to use custom made widgets along with blazing templates. After editing a lot of the unnecessary code out, along with changing the template to fit the exact need of my friend, I added a few widgets like the quotation rotator. This nice widget makes it easy to add a varity of quotes and let them appear on the webpage and change after a set amount of time to a new quote. I also created (with inspiration from other widgets/plugins) a contact form to make it easy for visitors to get in contact with the company.

After finishing up on the wordpress converted website I chose to return to clean HTML, some fresh PHP, with some added spicey CSS topped with just a hint of FLASH. With those ingredients the website you see before you was created. Why back to the old recipe? Simple, it's fast and stable and secure! The problem with new software like Wordpress is that it is really diverse and still evolving daily.
