Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with design agencies?+

Absolutely! Since 2006, I've collaborated extensively with design and marketing agencies both as an in-house developer and as an external contractor. I excel at integrating seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams, coordinating effectively with marketing specialists, creative directors, and account managers to deliver exceptional web solutions. My agency experience has honed my ability to understand brand guidelines, meet tight deadlines, and communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

How do you approach design? Do you work with designers?+

My approach to design varies based on project requirements: When working with agencies: I collaborate closely with their design team who handles brand identity application to the website design. This ensures perfect alignment with established brand guidelines. For projects without a dedicated designer: I create effective designs by:

Utilizing client-provided brand assets and references
Implementing proven UX/UI patterns for your industry
Selecting appropriate typography and color schemes
Creating a clean, professional aesthetic that focuses on user experience
Ensuring the design supports key business objectives

The result is a functional, attractive website that effectively communicates your brand message and drives conversions, even without a comprehensive brand identity system.

Can you implement existing designs into a functional website?+

Yes, I specialize in transforming design files into fully-functional, responsive websites. When working with agencies and larger brands, this is often my primary role. The process typically involves:

Receiving design files (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or PSD)
Converting these designs into responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Implementing dynamic functionality and content management systems
Collaborating with the creative team to ensure pixel-perfect implementation
Optimizing for performance, accessibility, and SEO

I pride myself on attention to detail and ensuring the final website matches the designer's vision while maintaining technical excellence.

What programming languages do you use?+

My core development stack includes:

TypeScript - For type safety and developer productivity
JavaScript - For interactive front-end experiences, using frameworks like React and Vue
Python - For server-side development, particularly with Django or custom solutions
Java - For server-side development, particularly with Spring Boot
PHP - For server-side development, particularly with Laravel or Symfony php
HTML5 & CSS3 - For semantic markup and responsive styling, often with Bootstrap framework
SQL - For database management and optimization

Do you create websites for small businesses and freelancers?+

Yes! I'm passionate about helping small businesses and freelancers establish a powerful online presence. I work directly with marketing departments, small business owners, and independent professionals to create websites that drive real business results. For smaller businesses, I offer comprehensive services including:

Strategic website planning aligned with business goals
Custom design and development tailored to your brand
Content management systems that are easy to update
Mobile-responsive designs that look great on all devices
SEO optimization to improve visibility
Training on how to maintain and update your website

I understand the unique challenges small businesses face and provide cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.

What is your web development process?+

My web development methodology is structured into 4 key phases to ensure quality and client satisfaction:

Planning & Strategy - Defining project goals, target audience, and technical requirements
Development & Design - Creating responsive, user-friendly websites with clean code
Testing & Refinement - Comprehensive quality assurance across devices and browsers
Deployment & Launch - Seamless website publication with performance optimization

After launch, I offer ongoing maintenance and support services to ensure your website remains secure, up-to-date, and performing optimally. This approach guarantees websites function flawlessly and clients always have expert assistance for any questions or issues.

Can you improve or expand my existing website?+

It depends on the specific case. Before making improvements or expansions to an existing website, I conduct a thorough technical audit to assess its current state. This audit examines:

Code quality and structure
Performance metrics and loading speeds
Mobile responsiveness
SEO fundamentals
Security vulnerabilities
Content management system health

Based on this assessment, I'll provide honest recommendations on whether it's more effective to improve the existing site or consider a rebuild. In many cases, strategic improvements to an existing site can yield excellent results without the need for a complete redesign.
