What these skills mean for your project

Tools matter less than what you can do with them. Here is how my design and development skills fit together when I build a website or web application for a client.

Design

I design interfaces in Figma, starting with wireframes and moving to polished, responsive layouts. I care about typography, spacing, and clear hierarchy so visitors know where to look and what to do next.

Frontend development

I build websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Tailwind CSS. Pages are responsive, accessible, and fast, and the code is organised so it is easy to maintain and extend later.

Backend and databases

When a project needs forms, accounts, or stored data, I work with PHP, Python, and PostgreSQL to build the server side, so the finished site does more than display static pages.

Tools and workflow

I use Git for version control, VS Code for development, and modern AI coding assistants to speed up repetitive work. I review everything myself so the result stays clean, secure, and consistent.

Research and testing

Good websites are tested with real people. I use usability testing, journey mapping, and simple analytics to find problems early and improve the experience after launch.

How skills translate to results

For a small business, this means a website that loads quickly, looks professional on every device, is easy to update, and makes it simple for customers to contact you.
