Web Projects
I design webpages, like the one you're staring at now, mostly as a hobby, but occasionally I do earn some money from it. Have a look through some of the projects I've done, will do, or am still doing now below. Generally I used PHP mixed and nested in HTML to make my webpages, but I'm always trying new things to improve the websites I produce (javascript, AJAX, etc).
This website is hosted at HostMonster.com (I recommend it)
RalphvandenBerg.com -The old Version-
The old version of RalphvandenBerg.com was the result of hardcore evolution. I learned new things, and wanted to try them out. This made it a bit of a mess, so I started over, and released RalphvandenBerg.com version 2 (This website now). See some screenshots on the
Media page.
It has been challenging in stricly a fun way to create this website. When things start to work well, it becomes personally rewarding to see it in action. Each member, and the content that they contribute in the form of Ramblings and comments, is highly appreciated in this world of community based websites.
Inside Chiang Mai
Find out all you need to know when you travel to this beautiful city in Thailand. Featuring insider information, hotel and tour booking, and other tips on ensuring a pleasant stay in Chiang Mai. Everything you'll read there is written by a long term resident- me.
I am planning on making this more a social type website. I don't think I'll take it as far as having users that log in, but I do like to see what visitors to this website have to say about Chiang Mai.
Nightlife Inside Chiang Mai
As an addon to the above website (Inside Chiang Mai), the nightlife section will be a free listing of as many nightlife venues as possible, and allow visiters to the website to comment and award points to the venues without having to register or log in as a member.
It is still a work in progress, and you may not see many venues and comments until later.
Ralph's Site
(URL purposely not shown)
This is my old website, when I was still free-hosting. As far as I know, it's still in existence, but I don't update anything anymore. I'm actually displeased with all the advertising schemes they implemented on that website. At least here I'm the one profiting from all the advertisements!
You might see that some of the earliest Ramblings date back to this first website of mine. Back then, there was no community, and each Rambling was hard-coded into HTML. This is primitive and the members and me are glad that it's gotten much easier now.
Greenfresh Innovation
Greenfresh Innovation is the sole distributor of Xyrex products in Thailand and most of the rest of South East Asia. I've done three versions of it already, and I'm planning on making a fourth version. It's the same deal here as with this website; I learn new things, and to implement them in a non-messy way, it's best to just start over.
Horeca Supply
Horeca is the leading distributor of food and non-food products in the five main provinces of Northern Thailand. Horeca also provides services such as training, food and beverage tasting, and expositions.

I display here a list of affiliate programs that I recommend, and I encourage visitors to join too. Each program is accompanied by a short description and some personal comments by me. Check it out if you're interested in making some money online.
Shop.RalphvandenBerg.com

Rent Condos Chiang Mai
If you're interested in staying in a luxurious condominium in Chiang Mai, than look no further. 2 condos, fully furnished in western style, with fully equipped kitchens, furnished bedrooms and living rooms, and even a home theatre are here at the reach of your mouse. The website features fading javascript photo galleries and an image marqee to display the pictures of these beautiful apartments.
Inspired Planet
This is not a website that I started. Rather I've been recruited to update and fix many parts of it. This has been quite a tedious job, considering the prehistoric design methods used. The website does contain very interesting items for sale from all over the world, such as religious icons, statues, emblems, and cultural items.
Lodging Here
A teacher at my university approached me and asked how much I charged to make websites. At that time, I had never charged anything, but it seemed like that was the time to start. For a small fee, I started my profession as a web designer, and created this "jacket" for a hotel booking affiliate.
Ibiza Delight, Ibiza Light, Ibiza Joy
Here you can book a stay in a beautiful house on Ibiza. Check out the website for up-to-date calendars on when this location is vacant, and then use the form (choice of 5 languages) to contact the owner.
