Conceptualization of the Belgian and Luxembourgish portal (alone or in collaboration with 2 people), determining the content;
Selection of partners (about 70 to 80 partners listed);
Technical & commercial negotiation (also assisted by the "sales" department);
Internal and external development coordination;
Maintenance of existing thematic channels.
Starting from the back of the pack (around 50th place), we quickly moved up to3rd place in CIM (official Belgian Web Statistics) in terms of unique visitors, ranked 1st in terms of pages read per unique visit (between 10 and 14, excluding special media campaigns). We experienced absolutely exceptional growth.
My proposal was to integrate as much content as possible using the XML technology, which was still very new at the time. To my knowledge, we were the first to do so with all of our content providers.
Ahead of us: MSN, Skynet, and Infobel.com. Concurrently: development of the MyTvision portal (www.mytvision.nl). Same type of work. The project was launched in mid-January 2002 in the Netherlands.
