Web Development & Online Digital Presence
In addition to my occupation, I have developed huge interest in front-end web design and developing. I learnt how to create websites by hand coding since 2009 and have built several websites offline which enabled me to have the capability in responsive front-end design, HTML/CSS and web typography.
As technology advances so fast, it’s getting much easier by using page builder or plugins etc. I adapted the way I create, and using available tools and platforms to focus more on the page layout design, functionalities, integrations and a more dynamic user interface.
