I design and build websites for a living. Not landing pages with a template and a stock hero — full digital products. Marketing sites that have to convert, internal tools that have to scale, experiences that earn the brand they sit on.
On the surface I'm a web developer. Underneath, the actual job is translation: taking what a company wants to be and turning it into something a stranger can use in eight seconds without thinking. That involves design, engineering, copy, motion, and a lot of arguing with myself about whether a button should be 14px or 15px. It's a small craft and a serious one.
I write the code, I draw the screens, I pick the type. End to end. Most of what I ship is built in React, TypeScript, and Next.js, with motion handled by GSAP and a lot of restraint. I don't use page builders. I don't copy from templates. I don't outsource the hard parts. The result is fewer projects per year — and ones that actually feel considered.
Most of the internet is loud, slow, and a little embarrassing. I don't want to make more of it. I'm interested in the opposite — sites that are quiet, fast, and unmistakably specific. Tools that respect the people using them. Brands that aren't afraid to look like themselves.
Drag-and-drop builders. AI-slop hero images. Three carousels stacked on top of each other. Dark patterns, popups two seconds in, fake scarcity timers, and any project where the answer to "why are we doing this?" is "the competitor did it." I'd rather pass.
The internet doesn’t need another website. It needs the right one, built like someone cared.
Specifically: full-time and contract roles building product and marketing sites for established brands, fintechs, agencies that serve them, and any in-house team where the website is treated as real infrastructure rather than a quarterly afterthought.
If you’re hiring for that kind of role, or you’re a founder who wants the site to actually look like the company you describe in pitch meetings, I’d like to hear from you.
