Joost de Valk’s Summary
I have a passion for the web, and all of it's endless possibilities. In the jobs I've had in the last years and in the open source projects I've been involved in, I have acquired more and more experience in managing successful open source / search engine optimization and webdesign projects.
Webdesign has been one of my main interests since 1994. This has allowed me to become adept at SEO quite rapidly, and right now I'm enjoying doing that more than anything else.
Joost de Valk’s Specialties:
With my in-depth knowledge of standards like (X)HTML / CSS / JS / SVG, and overall experience in webdesign and SEO projects, I can advise companies on what is best for their online business, optimizing their code to work well with search engines, making their websites convert better AND have them look good in all browsers.
I'm confident enough to say I'm good at speaking in public, and able to enthuse people for projects I have to work on.
