Fred Klopper
Web developer and newsletter specialist with 25+ years of experience
I've worked as a freelance web developer from Arnhem since 2011. From 2017 to 2025 I combined that with a part-time job at Laposta, the Dutch email marketing platform. There I specialised in newsletter templates and email marketing integrations.
I work on a project basis for agencies and direct clients. I follow common coding standards and test thoroughly before delivery. Clear communication and realistic planning are part of it.
I pick things up quickly, work independently and adapt easily to other developers, designers and the way they work.
