Code Should be Beautiful

Hi, my name is Ian. I'm a frontend developer. I love making websites that load fast and work well on any device.

I MAKE:

WordPress Websites
Need a beautiful design turned into a easy to update custom theme? I can help. I craft efficient responsive themes that can be easily edited via Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
Do you just need to make a few updates to your existing theme? I can help there as well.
WooCommerce Websites
I enjoy creating safe and reliable customizations for WooCommerce powered online stores. I write my code to best work with WooCommerce and not against it, while making sure it's as stable as possible.
Angular Applications
I have experience building and maintaining business-critical applications with Angular 7+ from the ground up. I can work with any existing Angular app from version 2+.
Responsive Websites
All websites I make are designed to run on various screen sizes and on just about any device. I prioritize a fast and quality user experience over using the latest fancy tools.
User Interfaces
I can build static HTML prototypes that can be integrated into your app or website. I can help bring your beautiful design to life.

I ALSO:

Write
I occasionally write blog posts or otherwise say random things on Twitter.
Speak
I've spoken at WordCamps and WordPress Meetups and have given talks regarding technology for various business groups and organizations.
Teach
I love to take the knowledge I've accumulated and share it with others. I love learning and sharing new things.
Make Things
You can find the public code I've written on Codepen and Github.

ABOUT ME

I’m a frontend developer from Chicago, IL and based in Jacksonville, FL. While I primarily create WordPress sites, I can also create static prototypes, user interfaces, or provide help on frontend tasks for your project. I have an extensive background in customer support and pride myself in being a responsive and effective communicator. I really enjoy my work and I love channeling that passion into making a great result for my clients.

CODE IS POETRY

I'm comfortable working with frontend frameworks as well as writing completely bespoke code. I write high quality HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript, and PHP that is clean, organized, and easily maintained. This allows the code I write to be easily read and understood by the next person who works with it.

I write well organized CSS/Sass in an object-oriented structure, which allows components to be very easily reused. I’m familiar with task runners such as Gulp and Grunt, but generally prefer to use CodeKit. Don't use pre-processors, task-runners, or other fancy stuff? I can work with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS just fine.

The websites I create are responsive, so you don’t have to worry about how your site will work on a phone or tablet. Even if your design doesn’t include a separate mockup for different screen sizes, I can help translate your beautiful design to work on any mobile device.

When I code WordPress themes, I write them in a way that is clean, easy to understand, and maintainable. I use the right plugins for the job when they are necessary, not just install the first thing I find in the plugin repository. If you or your organization have a specific way you like sites coded, just let me know and we can discuss your needs.
