I’m currently working on a redesign of a site of a good friend. He’s a professional photographer from Amsterdam and I built his first site in 2011.

Hanne & Lore – Tonband fĂĽr den Badestrand

Badestrand is the German word for bathing beach and although the official bathing beach season is over in Germany, there’s always a beach anywhere on the globe that is nice and warm and that can benefit from this fantastic set of Hanne & Lore.

I kept myself busy with engineering happiness for Automattic as well as having a great meeting with my good friend and best man Mark from Gunung An and The Onion Collective about his websites. I do have to admit that I’m a big fan of the Genesis Framework and as Mark’s thinking about redesigning […]
