Front-end Development

Static design mock-ups may look pretty, but you can’t experience true performance in Photoshop. I prefer to work in iterations of design, prototype, test and review — allowing final decisions to be made in the browser.

Through coding I can deliver:

• An entire website …
• … or just a little bit of maintenance?
• Templates for many frameworks
• Pattern and component libraries
• Build and deployment workflows
• Performance and accessibility reviews
• Progressive web apps

Web standards are ever-evolving. I see each project as an opportunity to refresh my methods and hone my practice. I understand the quirks of old browsers and the benefits of new technology. I use progressive enhancement to deliver accessible websites based on an intrinsic knowledge of the front-end.

Favourite tools and technologies:

• HTML / CSS
• Sass
• SVG
• PHP
• JavaScript
• React
• Svelte
• Astro
• Node
• Deno
• Git
• Gulp
• WordPress
• Gutenberg
• Shopify
• Netlify
• Cloudflare
• Web Workers

I’m not fussy. I can work with high-fidelity design software or back-of-the-napkin sketches. My background in design gives me an intuitive understanding to interpret, iterate upon, and best utilise visual concepts.

My services also include: responsive design, content management, and process & strategy.
