Home/Projects
My workNo off-the-shelf templates. Every project here is custom built, with its own choices, its own mistakes and its own pride. This is what I've made.
Five websites, all live, all different, all built by me.
luxuryapartmentscostablanca.nl and several extra domains
A full holiday rental platform: from the calendar to the payment. A self-built booking system, its own admin area, automatic emails, iCal sync with Airbnb and Booking.com. Available in 6 languages (NL, EN, DE, FR, ES, SV) and reachable through several domain names that automatically redirect to the right language version. Zero commission to external platforms.

My own online shop for authentic vintage designer bags. No WordPress, no WooCommerce. Built on Next.js 15 with Payload CMS, so I manage products, copy and photos myself without needing a developer. Payment via Mollie (iDEAL, Klarna, credit card).
View the live site →designerbagcharms.com
Online shop for bag accessories: bag charms, lanyards and jewellery for designer bags. Built on WordPress with WooCommerce, fully customised. Easy to manage yourself via the familiar WordPress dashboard.
View the live site →studiovanduijn.nl (this site)
My own website, including the online Academy. Built with Astro, no WordPress, no Webflow, no builders. Fast, lightweight and fully under my own control, with a course area, login, payments and its own CMS for the copy.
You're already here →rozezaterdagnoordwijk.nl
Website for the biggest LGBTQIA+ event in the Bollenstreek, the bulb region around Noordwijk. Volunteer work for the community, from the set-up to the programme, the sponsors and the social media. Rebuilt every year, bigger every year.
View the live site →Every project here was made with a specific goal: more control, lower costs, better visibility in search. No frills, no overkill.
Custom Next.js where it needs to do more, as with The Vintage Bag and the booking platform. WordPress where you mainly want to manage it easily yourself, as with DesignerBagCharms and Roze Zaterdag.
You change products, copy and photos yourself, without a developer. Via Payload CMS for The Vintage Bag, via the familiar WordPress dashboard for DesignerBagCharms and Roze Zaterdag.
The online shops handle their own checkout, The Vintage Bag for example via Mollie with iDEAL, Klarna and credit card. The booking platform takes bookings without paying commission to Airbnb or Booking.com.
No account manager between you and the person building it. You talk to me, I build it, and a change is sorted quickly.
Schema markup, sitemap, fast loading and optimised images. For multilingual sites also hreflang tags, so Google shows each language correctly.
From 10 products to 100, from 1 location to 10. The technology grows with you without having to rebuild everything.
I build these for others too, from a simple marketing website to a complete online shop or booking platform. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat.
