I make highly optimized custom websites.

I have been working as a web developer for over 15 years. As a freelancer and together with digital agencies I have designed and developed countless personalized websites for global brands, small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers, individuals, associations and foundations. I value code organization and simplicity, performance and accessibility. I work with 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.

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, usually using a foundation (“starter”) I have developed for the basics.

This approach has various advantages:

  1. No image is too big, no code is too much - and the website runs error-free and extremely fast.
  2. I am independent of third parties, both from persons or external code: I react to problems and necessary updates myself.
  3. I create semantically structured websites with human-written, approachable contents that are highly discoverable without the need for additional SEO efforts.
  4. Truly, we can realize almost anything you can imagine!

Have a look at some of my projects!

I build websites that are fast, secure, accessible, environmentally friendly and privacy compliant.

"Inheriting" grid dimensions from siblings with subgrid

What I want to achieve is aligning siblings vertically: the dynamic dimensions of elements inside the <header> landmark shall implement the grid column template defined on the <body> element, so that sibling elements can align themselves with it.

About subgrid and colored grid lines

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

Whimsical interaction sounds have found their back into personal websites in recent years, and I think that's wonderful.
