InfoProjects, Bussum (NL)

Front-End Web Developer  May 2007 - September 2010

• Designing websites that conform to the WCAG with a main focus on accessibility
• Building dynamic websites (XSL/HTML/CSS/Javascript(Jquery)) that conform to the Dutch equivalent of the WCAG standards, with a main focus on accessibility

InfoProjects (IP) is a company that builds web applications for intranet, internet, knowledge management and e-learning. All the applications are based on the Content Management System IPROX. IPROX is a self developed flexible intuitive CMS. As a Front-End Web Developer at IP, I designed and built dynamic websites powered by IPROX. IP’s clients are mainly governmental organizations, therefore their websites have to be accessible to people with disabilities. This means the Front-End Web Developer has to meet the Dutch ‘Drempels Vrij’ standard (equivalent to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and ensure that the interface is user-friendly and logical. IP’s websites can be viewed on any platform (including most handhelds) using any (popular) browser.
