Design & development: Joerg Diekmann
Joerg Diekmann is one of the leading web-application developers in South Africa. His take is that just like writers, art exhibitions and even a DJ’s playlist need editing, so too does software. Less is more.
Joerg holds a computer science and economic science degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. He lived in London for five years where he developed an interest in art and design, which led him to create the leading online art photography magazine at the time called AK47.tv. There he also worked on major sports websites for Manchester United, The Rugby World Cup, and America’s Cup. Before returning to South Africa, he worked at the Lawn Tennis Association which allowed him to play tennis every day on the finest courts in England, and make the contacts to co-write the Tennis Tournament Manager software used at all ATP/WTA tournaments around the world.
Since then he has concentrated on writing easy-to-use subscription-based software in his spare time for freelancers and smaller businesses, starting with the popular invoicing software called Fluttervoice. During the day, his freelance work has allowed him to write a video sharing site for 8mm footage, and a pension fund administration system.
Joerg also DJs alt.country and country music, does off-road motorbike touring, tries to eat healthily and is fanatical about film.
