About me

My name is Joost van der Schee and I am a web developer from Amsterdam. I studied Industrial Design at TUDelft. In 2007 I founded Usecue BV. My first priority is my family, but my work is definitely number two.

I build websites with an absolute minimum of code. Why? First of all because I think it is a fun challenge, but also because it produces lightning-fast websites. Fast websites use less computing power and that is not just ‘greener’ and better for the search engine (SEO), but also much cheaper (about 10 times). These savings allow me to offer more competitive prices and provide more service than my competitors.

I use static site generators a lot. To help myself and fellow enthusiasts I have set up Hugo Codex and my own code library. I have built a CMS for Hugo, which I use to serve my customers.

In addition to Hugo websites, I develop custom solutions. For example, I build lightweight e-commerce solutions with sales of more than one million euros per year. My most recent project is a platform for creating online magazines.
