Willem Guensberg's Summary

Label A develops functional *and* good looking apps and sites. Dummy-proof and high-tech, with a focus on mobile and cloud technologies.

We stand out in the cloud. We challenge each other to always do things a little better. Code can always be cleaner, frameworks more efficient, stylesheets slicker. It's our challenge to build even the most complex online applications in such a way that they are fun to use. Because of our passion for technology, we are constantly looking for the latest and coolest tricks to push ourselves and our clients forward.

Everything we do is web. We're no full-service Internet company.

Specialties

I'm a good listerener who can add value by bringing to the table a productive combination of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. I make things concrete and make them happen.

I also love transferring my passion for Southern African wildlife to others (and am a FGASA L1 certified field guide).
