I build custom JAMstack websites & pattern libraries that help businesses grow
How I can help you
I take a strategic approach to designing and building websites that focus on solving user needs and business problems.
Discovery
It’s important to identify the right problems that need solving, because the biggest risk is building the wrong thing. Discoveries make sure we start projects with a shared vision and a clear, prioritzed plan to meet your business goals.
UI/UX design
Design should always be approached with thought. Although what it looks like is important, it’s equally as important to focus on how it works and joining the dots between your business goals and your users needs.
Web development
Development that focuses on a great UX including performance, animation and acessibility. I focus on developing JAMstack websites which boast improved performance, higher security and a lower cost to scale.
Rob really understood the value of a great user experience and looked at how page transitions could enhance this. Optimisation was also a key part of the build. By compressing content, minimising the amount of plug-ins used and cross device testing he was able to deliver a modern, unique and responsive website.
Benefits of the JAMstack
The JAMstack is a new way of building websites and apps. It does away with the database and leverages third-party services to create fast websites with higher security and a lower cost to scale – great for a business of any size.
Speed past the competition
Why wait for pages to build on the fly when you can generate them ahead of time? Static sites are up to 10 times faster, boasting a better UX and improved search engine rankings.
Save money on security
73.2% of the most popular WordPress websites are vulnerable to hacker attacks. JAMstack websites are pre-built and leverage third-party services which means surface areas for attacks are reduced.
Scale to the entire internet
JAMstack websites scale with your business and user base, many third-party services offer very generous free plans, meaning you only have to pay when your business and audience grows.
