My name is Jeroen Coumans, and I’m on a mission to improve the Web. My weapons are a great passion for design and technique. My vision is a Web that isn’t just usable, accessible and beautiful, but most of all delivers an amazing user experience. To reach these goals I gladly offer you my services as freelance webdesigner. Check out my work and feel free to contact me if I can help you.

Spereco03/2008

Another partnership with Henk Baetsen is the new Spereco website. Henk provided the design, while I did the Drupal implementation and theming. Since Spereco has a fairly extensive product catalog, we decided to use the taxonomy module for organizing all products in various facets. The taxonomy_menu module is used to provide a fly-out menu of the main product categories, while product qualities are searchable through the use of the taxonomy browser module. We also made heavy use of the image module for photo management. I even created a Drupal module specifically for this website, which is quite a feat for a non-programmer such as myself.

Belastingdienst HBI03/2008

For every good that is imported, the Dutch tax office requires you to pay taxes (in Dutch, the tax office is called the “Belastingdienst”, which literally means “tax service“, oddly enough). These taxes vary wildly based on the sort of good, the amount, land of origin etc. To make the process of searching and selecting the right tariffs, a project was started to create a web application of this giant catalogue. The result is the HBI (“Heffingen bij invoer”) application, for which I created most of the CSS. This being a governement website, it had to adhere to the most strict technical standards.

Kinderrijk11/2007

Interaction-design, HTML, CSS and Javascript of the Kinderrijk website and Intranet. Since this would be built completely in CakePHP, I used a block-based system for the HTML wireframes in which functionality was compartementalised in small PHP files that are included when necessary. This made it a very flexible system that was easy to built and maintain.

Bratislava Insider04/2007

The Slovakian Senza Limiti had a design and Drupal website for their new portal, but nobody who could implement the Drupal theme. On a tight deadline I brushed up the design and created the Drupal theme. The owner of the website, Tobias Ratschiller (author of several PHP books and the popular PhpMyAdmin), has written a Drupal casestudy on the Drupal website.
