Yoast tweaking websites
Follow Yoast on Twitter, or subscribe to this blog by email or RSS!

Not only am I an SEO, I’m fairly good at webdesign as well. With webdesign I mean the translation of a nice idea by someone else into completely valid templates, others are often better in creating nice looks for a site. I’ve started my own webdesign company on the side for this: AlthA Webdesign.

Next to webdesign, I do a lot of web development using PHP, mainly using the different API’s of the search engines and social media networks out there to create mash ups.
