Freelance web development
Welcome to Interpotential. My name is Wouter van Vliet and if you are looking for an independent freelance web
developer you may very well have come to the end of your search.
Interpotential specialises in Perl, PHP, Flash, Adobe Flex, AJAX and (of course) HTML and Javascript. All
web development is done in accordance to the accessibility guidelines set by the WAI,
ensuring that you will not be excluding anybody from being able to use your web application. We make sure you will
not be locking anybody out of your business.
Content management systems
We have our own custom build CMS, tailored to the needs of most. It's lightweight, extendible and easy to use. It's
like all the big ones, just without the complicated extra options. If you prefer to rely on the largely spread open-source
system Drupal we can set it up and customize it to meet your specific requirements.
Anything is possible!
Some of the keys
The big thing for Interpotential is developing internet software to be proud of. For us, this always involves
a fully template-driven standards compliant front-end and Object Oriented back-end. Wherever possible, we strive to use technologies already available on the web. Why still add your own "user profile" module
when it is so easy to hook into Hyves and Facebook? Nowadays, public API's rule the web.
Interpotential stands for:
- "between", among, or "within a group"
- The potential inside
- International
- Cross-media
- Get the best out of combinations
- Anything can be made possible

2001 - present time: Comic Stripshop
Still the first and the biggest (on estimate) Dutch comic book store on
the internet. For Comic Stripshop I've developed the webshop, which
I still maintain a couple of hours a month.
Experience I built on while working for Comic Stripshop includes:
- Web development in Perl
- The eBay and PayPal API
- XHTML/CSS/JavaScript/AJAX
2001 - August 2007: esctoday.com - News Editor / Head of Internet Technology
Esctoday.com first entered the world wide web shortly before
the Eurovision Song Contest of 2000. When I joined "founding
father" Sietse Bakker a couple of months later, during the
preperations for the contest of 2001 it still wasn't much. Back
then I mainly wrote columns and news articles.
In the years to come we gradually moved from a plain HTML website
to a rather advanced custom made CMS, supporting the need
for 30 international editors to enter news articles, in-depth
specials and all the information on past- and present eurovision
participants.
During the last years my work for esctoday.com has mainly been
the development of new features and maintainance of the software.
While esctoday.com has grown to be the most visited independent
Eurovision related news website, serving the need for news to
fans, participants, broadcasters and everybody else - every
member of the team still works completely volontary.
Various summer- and parttime jobs
- Greenhouse
- Newspaper route
- Comicstore employee
