Hi, my name is Mark van Dijk.

I make Internet tech work for you.

I consult small and medium sized organizations, manage Internet servers, and provide DNS, email and website hosting solutions.

I work freelance. My proudest achievement is my work as the systems architect for the No Agenda Show.

Projects I'm proud of

Migration and redesign

Landscaping Website

The owner of Bevers Hoveniers was dissatisfied with his previous website. It was very generic, the images were stock images, he didn't know how to make changes to it, and he paid an exorbitant amount for its hosting - and when he wanted to migrate the website to another hoster, he was told that he had to pay extra to move the website he already paid for! So instead of taking that route, I migrated his domain to a much cheaper hosting platform, and built his website from scratch using some hints from his previous site. It turned out lovely, don't you think?

Technologies used include:

  • Domain and website migration
  • WordPress, theming engine
  • Third party extensions

Sanctificium

Platform Migration

For Sanctificium I executed a comprehensive migration of domain, DNS and email services, improving their online presence in terms of features and cost reduction. I deployed a new WordPress installation tailored to the customer's needs, integrating essential security measures, image compression, caching functionality, a dynamic theme engine, and payment and translation services. This is an example of offering a personalized and efficient online solution. My dedication to delivering a robust and adaptable digital platform underscores my commitment to digital security and client satisfaction.

Technologies used include:

  • DNS, IMAP and SMTP
  • WordPress
  • Third party extensions

Complete rebuild

Parish Website

The Saint Martin's Parish is a Roman-Catholic parish located in the city of Groningen, The Netherlands. Their old website was quite out of date. I volunteered to make a new one. I migrated most info from the old site to the new one, and am keeping the Mass schedule, the news page and other content up to date.

Technologies used include:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • WordPress
  • BeTheme
