Design and build · Colorado Springs, since 2002

Websites people get on the first try.

I design websites and apps, and then I build them myself. Clear pages, menus that make sense, and a site Google can read. You deal with one person from the first sketch to the live site.

Your attention, live

New · My own app

CrawlStat. A site crawler, written in Rust.

It does the job of Screaming Frog, only faster. Point it at a site and it walks every page, the way Google does, and tells you what is broken.

  • Broken links and dead pages
  • Redirects, and redirect chains
  • Missing or doubled titles
  • Headings and descriptions
  • Pages Google is told to skip
  • How every page links to the rest
Artelier Design System · v1.0

The heart of the work

Every screen starts from one system.

The Artelier Design System is where my design work starts. It has 56 parts, and each one shows how it looks, how it behaves and which values it uses. This site is built on it too.

  1. Sorted by job

    Parts are grouped by what they do on the screen, not by name. You find a part by what you need it for.

  2. Values on every part

    Each part lists the values it uses. Change a value once and every screen follows.

  3. Grey, so colour means something

    Everything around the content stays grey. Five colours are kept for the logo and for status.

How it works

Look first, then change one thing.

Everyone has opinions about layouts. Most of the work is finding what is really in the way, and fixing that first.

  1. 01

    Look at what is there

    The site as it is, what it should do, and where people give up.

  2. 02

    Find what is in the way

    Crawl the site, watch where people look, and list what to fix first.

  3. 03

    Design and build

    One set of parts, one person, from the first sketch to the live site.

  4. 04

    Change one thing

    Fix the order, move the button, cut a step. Then check again.

The full price list

Less, butdone well.

I grew up in Petroșani, a mining town in Transylvania, and studied computer science at the University of Petroșani before design was ever the plan. I have always had a taste for typography, architecture and video games, and for a long time I had no idea those things would end up being the job.

I have been freelancing under my own name since 2008, and I have spent stretches in house too, at agencies in Colorado Springs, Wisconsin and Idaho, and remote for a platform team in Munich. Front end development and technical SEO, usually on the same project. I love JavaScript. I like that you can have an idea in the morning and be clicking on it in the afternoon, and that there is always a better way to do the thing you did last week.
