I make highly optimized custom websites.

I have been working as a web developer for over 15 years. As a freelancer and on behalf of agencies I have designed and developed countless personalized websites for small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers, individuals, associations and foundations. I mainly work with the Jamstack architecture and technologies of the web platform.

Hi, this is me.

About the way I work

I make sure that a website is fast and loads only what is necessary. Everyone should be able to find their way around immediately and a website should be accessible and usable for as many people as possible. The field of accessibility is huge and complex - I am constantly learning.

I do not create websites based on premade templates/themes and I do not use website builders. I plan, design and program all websites from scratch.

This approach has various advantages:

No image is too big, no code is too much - and the website runs error-free and fast.
I am independent of third parties, I react to problems and necessary updates myself.
Semantically structured websites with good content are highly discoverable.
We can realize almost anything we can imagine!

I love creating personalized web experiences that are fast, secure, accessible, environmentally friendly and privacy compliant.

For me, subgrid is the missing piece for my mental model to fully embrace grid. In this article, I will try to create a prototype of a design that requires a four column layout with colored grid lines.
Recording, editing and integrating a sound for a click event
November 6, 2023
Whimsical interaction sounds have found their back into personal websites in recent years, and I think that's wonderful.
