dutchheritageworldtours.nl

This is the website for a company that offers audio tours in countries with a Dutch heritage, including France, the United Sates, and Poland.

What I Did for This Website:

Using a site design provided by the company itself, I rebuilt their existing website and changed it from HTML to WordPress. I did this to give the company a content management system, making it easier for them to update their site. To this end I created a custom manual for them, which I always offer clients when building a website. Putting all of their initial content online for them to access as needed for their updates presented much of the labor in building this site. It’s also a multilingual site, and these are always a bit more challenging to build than one might expect, but very necessary and ultimately enriching for companies such as this.

dorotheealbers.nl

I created this site for the Dutch writer Dorothée Albers. She is the author of the novel Zeemansgraf Voor een kort Verhaal (A Seaman’s Grave for a Short Story) published by Uitgeverij Cossee, and a collection of poems entitled Het Gras van de Donderdag (The Grasses of Thursday) published by Uitgeverij De Muze.

What I Did For This Website:

With her new novel having been translated from Dutch to German, it made sense to create a bilingual website for Dorothée, which I did, leaving open the option to add more languages as the need arises. Because it is a WordPress website, she can easily add to it herself, for posting new books, essays, reviews, or events, any time she likes. I created a custom manual for her to follow, which I always offer to clients when I build a website.

Through using the methods offered here, individuals acquire skills that allow them to become more confident participants in verbal communication.

The custom-made online component of this project features an interactive version of the steps involved in writing a poem and makes available a significant amount of resources on the subject for attendants, therapists, parents and teachers.

This is a Blindschelders & Raadsman project.

What I did for this website:

In 2021 we decided to reorganize the site to make it more user friendly. With our list of resources continuing to grow, with many new featured projects to display, and a wealth of new articles focused on our subject matter, we needed to make this bounty of information easier to navigate and search through. I used WordPress and a very flexible existing theme to redesign and update the website to accommodate every requirement.
