Web design & development


In 2006 I started studying Media Technology at the Media College Amsterdam with the aim of becoming a web developer. After which I worked as an employee for 12 years on large and small online platforms, websites and webshops. Since 2019 I have been working as an independent entrepreneur under the name Webartisan, where you can go for the complete development of your digital product.
  • Web design in the house style
    of your company

  • Development of custom websites
    made in Statamic

  • Web apps custom made
    In the Laravel framework

  • Hosting & maintenance of your website
    so that you can enjoy your platform carefree

  • Search engine optimalisation
    (SEO) of your platform

Advice, consultancy & site scans


Companies often come to me for advice or improvement points about their website or webshop. This can be about the layout or design of the site, the site speed, improvements that make the website better understood by search engines (SEO) or other technical issues. I often do this with pleasure and usually without obligation.

Why does Webartisan.nl use

as alternative for Wordpress?

  • Intuitive, modern and user-friendly
    As you would expect from a modern CMS

    A modern interface and good underlying code is not only pleasant to use, but has a direct effect on the search engine optimization (SEO) of your website, the site speed, but also conversions.

  • Extremely suitable for both
    Websites, Webshops and Web applications

    A modern interface and good underlying code is not only pleasant to use, but has a direct effect on the search engine optimization (SEO) of your website, the site speed, but also conversions.

  • Secure, 94% of websites hacked
    running Wordpress

    (Source) Most attacks target the Wordpress database. Statamic does not use a database and is therefore not at risk.
    The platform is made in Laravel, which is widely recognized as the most secure and best maintained backend framework. “WordPress is new wine in an old wineskin (a legacy codebase from 2005).”
