Frequently asked questions
Do you "do web design"?
Over my career I have developed an appreciation, "design eye" and a deep understanding of UX that I bring to projects. I can scaffold up sites quickly using frameworks such as Tailwind or Flowbite and can created good functional site. But if you're after more of a creative flair then I'd be happy to work with a specialist digital designer.
How about React, Vue, Angular or {insert another JS framework}?
Where projects and briefs allow, I tend to use as little as Javascript as possible and favour standards-compliant and lightweight methods in the first instance, adding JS only where absolutely necessary. Vanilla JS or Alpine.js are my preferred approaches unless we're creating some sort of intense UI application.
Do you work with Wordpress
No, not unless the project is to migrate away from Wordpress 😉
