Esctoday.com first entered the world wide web shortly before the Eurovision Song Contest of 2000. When I joined "founding father" Sietse Bakker a couple of months later, during the preperations for the contest of 2001 it still wasn't much. Back then I mainly wrote columns and news articles.

In the years to come we gradually moved from a plain HTML website to a rather advanced custom made CMS, supporting the need for 30 international editors to enter news articles, in-depth specials and all the information on past- and present eurovision participants.

During the last years my work for esctoday.com has mainly been the development of new features and maintainance of the software.
