Kruidenpower is a website that showcases the herbal medicine business of Nicole Trompetter, designed by Lanxiang Vermeulen. I expanded the designs to include mobile devices. I should also thank Raphael Kurun for matching me up with Nicole Trompetter. I found working on this website to be an exciting and informative experience, despite alternative medicine not being something I would typically use.

Kruidenpower was also the first job I undertook as a freelancer, and it proved to be a crucial learning opportunity. During the project I experimented with various platforms and technologies, leading me to discover my preferred technology stack for non-interactive websites. Ultimately, I settled on Nuxt 3, which I hosted on Netlify’s platform. I also integrated Decap to streamline content management.

I appreciate the simplicity of Nuxt 3 for somewhat static sites such as Kruidenpower. While it may not be suitable for more complex websites or applications requiring authentication, it was perfect for this project!

In addition to Kruidenpower, I also created a portfolio for Nicole Trompetter. Although it was a small website, it was a pleasure to work on. However, I felt that it didn't adequately showcase my skills, so I decided not to include it in my portfolio.

Overall, working on Kruidenpower and Nicole Trompetter’s portfolio was a fulfilling experience that allowed me to refine my skills and develop a better understanding of my preferred technology stack for non-interactive websites. Working with Lanxiang Vermeulen was also a great experience, and her contribution to the project was invaluable.
