Victoria Koning (néé Pitwood) was born in Wijnberg, Cape Town on the 1st of March 1969. She has lived all over South Africa including far away places like Tzaneen, Knysna and Henley-on-Klip. She attended Clarendon High School for Girls in East London from 1982 to 1986. During her childhood, Victoria's family moved around a lot and this is probably where her wanderlust stems from ...

Victoria began her working career in Johannesburg in 1987, with her first job at Rio Tinto Mining House (in Sandton) as a receptionist. With much vervour, she learned about the upcoming trend ... computers (even how to make menus in DOS ... anyone else remember that?). To further her skills and experience, Victoria moved from one job to the next, where she finally ended up as the IT Manager at Oracle Corporation.

Support and training being an area of expertise

After getting married in 2001, Marcel and Victoria moved to the Netherlands, where they formed their business partnership, Marvic VOF. Marcel brought in the bacon by installing flooring, and Victoria learned how to speak Dutch and how to run a business in Holland (there are a gazillion rules ...), also doing the bookkeeping and business administration.

Then using help screens and manuals, she taught herself how to design websites. Marvic.biz was the first website created back in 2003, then came Tours and Tales and Floorstyle.nl.

Alongside managing their own websites, Marvic Web Design also helps professionals and small business owners with their websites, with an understanding of what they're going through. Before trying something new on a client's website, they test it out on their own websites first and then apply the benefits to clients' websites, where applicable.

Victoria also works with Marcel installing laminate flooring. It's a great way to keep fit and strong and healthy!

Hobbies and interests include camping, nature, wildlife, offroading, cycling, photography and making videos. Members of the Land Rover Club Holland.
