Jannie van Tonder (trading as Makouvlei.net)
I have been professionally involved in web development since 1996, the early days of the Internet boom. During this time I have developed a number of websites independently, as well as managed a large web development team, seeing major corporate projects through from consultation to launch.
My experience in dealing with all aspects of a range of projects from small business sites and typical e-commerce-enabled product catalogue sites, to large corporate developments, has given me excellent insight into clients’ needs, and how to deliver a quality product on time that does the job without design and programming quirks!
I have refined a cost-efficient database-driven system which provides you, the website owner, with a user-friendly administration interface allowing you to take control of the site's content, which you manage by updating a database via a hidden control panel on the site, saving on long-term maintenance costs.
