Front-End Development

Clean, fast, responsive front-end builds with semantic HTML, modern CSS and JavaScript. The kind of code that works everywhere, loads quickly and doesn't make future developers want to cry.

Front-End Development

Front-end development is where design becomes real. It's the bit that actually matters to the person using the website — how fast it loads, how it feels to navigate, whether it works on their phone, whether a screen reader can make sense of it. I take all of that seriously.

I write clean, semantic HTML, modern CSS and carefully considered JavaScript. I don't reach for heavy frameworks when vanilla code will do the job, and I don't pile on dependencies for the sake of it. The result is front-end code that's fast, maintainable and actually pleasant for other developers to work with if they ever need to.

Whether you need a design turning into a responsive build, an existing site cleaned up and modernised, or someone to slot into a wider team and handle the front-end side of things, I'm happy to help.

What's Included

Every engagement is tailored to your needs. Here's what you can typically expect.

Semantic HTML

Meaningful, well-structured markup that's accessible to screen readers, friendly to search engines and straightforward to maintain long-term.

Modern CSS

Custom properties, container queries, grid, flexbox — I use modern techniques that keep the code clean without piling on unnecessary complexity.

Performance First

Optimised assets, minimal JavaScript, lazy loading and careful attention to Core Web Vitals. Fast isn't an afterthought, it's the baseline.

Truly Responsive

Fluid, flexible layouts that work properly from the smallest mobile screen to the widest desktop monitor — not just a desktop design squashed into a phone.

Accessibility (WCAG)

Keyboard navigation, screen reader support and proper ARIA patterns. I build to WCAG 2.1 AA as standard because the web should work for everyone.

Cross-Browser Testing

Tested across Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge on desktop, tablet and mobile. Nothing ships until it's been properly put through its paces.

How It Works

A proven process refined over a decade of delivering successful projects.

Design Review

I start by reviewing the design files in detail — identifying components, interactions, edge cases and anything that needs clarifying before code is written.

Architecture

Planning the component structure, CSS approach and JavaScript strategy upfront means cleaner code and fewer surprises down the line.

Build

Iterative development with regular check-ins, browser testing and performance monitoring throughout. You'll see progress as it happens.

QA & Launch

Thorough cross-browser testing, accessibility checks, performance benchmarks and a smooth, well-planned deployment.
