Hi, I'm Alex

Websites from start to finish

Most of my experience is in building catalogues, product showcases and online stores, complete with blogs, news sections, curated collections, ratings, reviews and comments.

I handle the whole process: planning, design, frontend, backend, launch and ongoing support. I prefer to design directly in the browser, so clients can see and try an early version of their website.

I currently develop and maintain tourism websites for clients abroad, built on a shared codebase with different language versions. The work continues after launch: clients come back to me for new features, design changes and other improvements.

How I work

I care about how easy a website is to use: editors should be able to publish content without a struggle, visitors should find what they need, and forms and buttons should work as expected. I enjoy getting these details right — they shape the experience of using a website.

I use AI tools in my work, while designing the solutions and checking the results myself.

Personal projects and open source

I like building tools that are missing from my everyday work. Sometimes an idea starts with a small inconvenience I run into again and again. Once I find a way to fix it, I want to share the solution with others.

That's how Commentail, an open-source commenting library for Wagtail, came about. It grew out of a recurring task: rewriting or adapting a comment system from one project to the next.

Desktop application development is a newer direction for me. I'm currently working on TaskRegent, an application for managing projects and tasks.

On my blog, I share my experience, talk about what I'm building and explain why I choose particular solutions. I release most of my own projects as open source.

If you need a website, an application or improvements to an existing project, get in touch and tell me about your task.
