Omroep Zeeland project

Writing texts, tagging, thinking up categories, uploading movies, finding bugs. I was a bit of a Jack of all trades during my time at Omroep Zeeland (local tv and radio station). I worked on their website for a total of eleven days. They were a few hands short and since I have experience with several kinds of CMS’s and have worked on early versions of websites before, they came to me.

The Omroep Zeeland Team that did the bulk of the work has been working on the site for months and it shows. Their beautiful and comprehensive site is online since this week.
