Maaike Media

What Maaike Media does

Maaike Media is a freelance multimedia UX and web design sole proprietorship founded in 2006 by Maaike Hammerstein and headquartered in Den Haag (The Hague), Netherlands. The firm delivers end-to-end web design and development services — custom responsive design (maatwerk), template-based builds, logo design, print design (drukwerk), and WooCommerce e-commerce — primarily on WordPress and Joomla CMS platforms, with security-optimized Joomla implementations as a documented niche within The Hague Security Delta ecosystem.

Its core technology stack is conventional and CMS-centric rather than proprietary: WordPress with custom themes and template modifications, Joomla for projects requiring more complex content management or security posture, WooCommerce for e-commerce catalogues, and GX Software for integration on larger enterprise engagements. There is no software product, no API surface, no mobile application, and no AI/ML component; value is delivered as bespoke human design labour augmented by a network of implementation partners (Cobiz for Joomla, Jannes&Mannes and Sitegurus for WordPress, The Red Stripe, Eye Online, Hague Agency, DHWM).

The business model is project-based freelance services, custom-quoted per scope, with multi-year client relationships on enterprise work (notably Obvion Hypotheken) and one-off SMB engagements across hospitality, education, finance, government, security, retail, manufacturing, and aviation. GTM is portfolio-driven via the firm's own website with direct contact-form and phone/email inquiry; there is no intermediary channel, no marketing automation, and no outbound sales motion. The firm has no external funding, no subsidiaries, and operates with effectively a single full-time practitioner, capping structural scale.
