Hi, I'm Robin - an Umbraco Addicted, Java Fueled Developer.

Who Am I?

A little about me, and in short what I stands for

 

About Me

I enjoy drinking coffee, eating pizza, and even an occasional beer every now or then. I write code and improve my design and skills every day.

 

BFF

Umbraco, CMS, combined with Bootstrap forms a strong foundation for modern websites that are up to date and tops the search engines.

 

Straight A's

Before launching a new website (or maintaining an older one), it’s a good idea to make sure the page performs well against several performance affecting fact.

About Me.

I have 15+ years of experience with web development, of which 10 of them have been dedicated to Umbraco (since version 4.5.2 to be exact). Specifically I have a special experience with developing in ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript/jQuery, CSS3/Sass/Less and a good knowledge of SQL as well.

My favorite developer tools are Visual Studio (and VS Team Foundation/GIT), SQL Management Studio and Umbraco. Over the years, I have worked with Scrum, frontend/backend web development, Web API/RESTful services, responsive web and a lot more…

I am Fullstack Web Developer with a capital D, coffee addict lover, and I love starting new projects.

Socially, I am more comfortable in unpretentious settings and where freedom comes with responsibility.

I AM HONORED TO HAVE WORKED WITH SOME VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.

Umbraco is a Danish developed Open Source CMS system based on the asp.net platform. Umbraco is incredibly flexible to integrate as a developer and super easy to maintain and expand as a user or webmaster.

Bootstrap is a responsive Mobile-First HTML, CSS, and JS framework originally designed and developed by the team behind Twitter. As a developer, you get access to unimaginable amounts of HTML and CSS components and cool custom JavaScripts.

STRAIGHT A'S IN WEBPAGETEST WITH UMBRACO

I have put a lot of effort in making my site perform as well as possible prior to Core Web Vitals. As google has mentioned previously, Core Web Vitals report will have page ranking effect.

This being said, it is always a good idea to make sure a website performs to its maximum. Since Googles search Algorithm is a well-kept secret (with good reason), when they say ‘Jump’ you ask ‘how high?’

Nothing is more annoying than a slow and bad performing website, right? :)

MockitUp

Often, as a web designer, you use the application Notepad (Or even Notepad ++) as your primary tool for making HTML mockups and store them locally. It may have the disadvantage of having your folders and files lying on his machine; most often on the desktop, and taking up space. Moreover, this solution is not durable either. Imagine Your Harddrive breaks down, or you lose your laptop in any way - all your files (HTML Mockups), representing some kind of value is then lost and important working hours are wasted.

Mockitup is intended as a successor of Notepad and works as an online HTML editor. Rather than having countless files and folders lying around anywhere, this tool provides the perfect storage for such files, folders, and images.

From time to time a web designer needs to either test tiny HTML or JavaScript snippets in order to build these into even greater projects. A web designer could also have the need for presenting some HTML Mockups for an associate, customer or something similar.

For the moment, the following boxes are available:
• Family Box
• Fitness Box
• Gourmet Box
• BBQ Box
• Slow-cook Box
• Diet Box
• Steak Box
• Roast Box

An ecommerce page for a local butcher, who was not only selling meat and various cold-cuts from his physical store, but also took on the role of Catering Delivery.

From small, minimum and larger parties of various occasions e.g. weddings, graduations, birthdays etc. you could, as a consumer, put together 2 ,3, or even 4 course meals for your party, all online, and have it delivered at any address and time.

Other kinds of foods or meals could also be ordered to be picked up by the customer himself.

SEO AND CONTENT

Lastbilbasen

Lastbilbasen

When lastbilbasen.dk was launched on a new platform in early spring 2019, it suffered from a big loss of page ranking due to brand new SEO-friendly urls. In close cooperation with a 3rd-party Communication Bureau I was tasked increasing the page's rank back.

With a content analytical approach we managed to find the weak spots, and by a mix of simple, well-known SEO techniques and clever writing, the page rose for a very low page-ranking to be among the top 5 google results.

Burundian Diaspora in Denmark

This is a website for a group of Burundians living in Denmark who have formed an organization through which they can strengthen and maintain their cultural bond within Denmark. One of the main entrepreneurs behind the project was recently (April 2021) interviewed by a Burundian Journalist from the Burundian Media Iwachu-Brundi.

After the publishing of the interview, the website made a Bounce Rate of 82% with visitors from more than 10 different countries, Canada, USA and China among others.

The organization organized a hike of Kilimanjaro I 2019 in favor to rise funds for the educations of Burundian Orphans.

Well done!

CookingForSingles

This is my own private project. Besides my passion for cooking, the page also works as a ‘sandbox’ where I try off new technologies or ways to do things.

I care a lot about pagespeed and performance, hence I use this page for various tests. It’s a typical 3-level website with a frontpage, a categorypage, and a detailpage.

The frontpage alone loads approx. 20 (+/-) images all along with google adds, in about 60-80ms. by which I’m quite satisfied with.

APP DEVELOPMENT

Nordjyske News App

Nordjyske News App

This App is made as a so called ‘Hybrid App’ using Ionic + Cordova Framework. The app fetches its articles from a central database, and renders it in plain HTML + CSS, which is further more wrapped by the Ionic + Cordova Framework into a native app for both iOS and Android.

By Spring 2021 the app has more than 10.000+ active installs for Android alone, according to Google Play.

A version for Windows Mobile was for obvious reasons rejected in a very early state of the project, despite the fact that the Ionic + Cordova Framework actually did support Windows Mobile.

Klubnordjyske, ‘The Club’ is a club for everyone. It offers concerts, lectures, and other exciting events in Northern Jutland.

The website were converted from a rather messy ‘all purpose’ PHP solution to a fully customized Umbraco solution, build around the ‘Merchello’ ecommerce plugin. All coded in ASP.NET and upon a MSSQL database.

The project was not only the technology conversion, but also a lift of the general UI/UX and rethinking the whole SEO of presenting the goods.
