About Me

My name is Martin Hein. I am dutch guy living in Rosario, Argentina and i love making web. I arrived here about two years ago and liked it so much that i decided to stick around. I develop websites for clients in both Argentina and the Netherlands. I consider myself to be most of all a front-end webdeveloper. As a webdesigner I like to make things look nice taking care of the graphics. As a programmer I like playing around with complex structures. But my main work is right there in the middle where the graphics have to connect with the code and where a website really has to start working. There where the user starts experiencing the web.

Making the web work

A website should work. It sounds simple but so many times it doesn´t apply to a website. Navigating the internet i notice myself without a lot of patience when i can´t seem to find anything on a website or when it takes me too long to find it. A website should work logical and offer the lowest possible resistance for the visitor. The design should be straightforward and inviting the user to click where you want a user to click. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe he shouldn´t even have to click at all.

SplitCMS

During the years i have been working as a webdeveloper i have always been looking for the perfect Content Management System. For my clients i want a system that is understandable and makes it easy for them to update their website. Equal to the website a CMS also should offer the least possible resistance to get things done. For me as a developer the CMS should be flexible and easily adaptable to quickly be able to reach my objectives. I developed my own system SplitCMS which also doubles as a framework. It is being used for various websites and i continually keep improving it to be able to offer the best possible web experience to my clients.

I also build websites based on Wordpress, a great open source system with a lot of flexibility. It allows me to quickly build an extensive website with funcionalities that i might not have available in my own CMS.
