Rekenmodules

2001 · Web development, webmaster

Rekenmodules.nl was a Dutch site of calculators, built at InterPlein in Helmond while Dirk was still studying. Mortgages, pensions, savings, investments, tax, and a long tail of things people needed to work out and could not.

Each module answered one question. What does this mortgage actually cost. What is left after tax. Which of these two products is better for me. They were grouped into categories down the left, with a top ten of the most used ones on the front page, because the honest measure of a tool like this is which ones people come back to.

The work was the modules themselves: assembling them, integrating them into the site, and keeping the whole thing running as webmaster. Dirk also led the student team building them.

The site was recognised in the Ilse Internetgids, then the main Dutch web guide, in print, as Beste Rekenmodules website in 2001.

Design and build both mine.

What brings you here?

It only changes what this site puts first. You can change it later, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Settings

No account, no server. Stored in this browser only, and gone when you clear your site data.

Appearance

This site is dark by default. Light and matching your device are both choices.

Text size

Scales the whole page, not just the body copy.

Motion

The home page has a field of cells that light under the pointer. By default this follows your system setting, which on most Windows machines means no trail.

What brings you here

Changes which menu items are on, and what comes first. Every page stays reachable by link and by address whichever you pick.
