I still think the Google-devised Core Web Vitals are smart. When I first got into caring about performance, it was all: reduce requests! cache things! Make stuff smaller! And while those are all very related to web performance, they are abstractly related. Actual web performance to users are things like how long did I have…

I recently moderated a panel at Netlify’s virtual Jamstack Conf that included Netlify CEO Matt Biilman and Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg. The whole thing was built up — at least to some — as a “Jamstack vs. WordPress” showdown. I have lots of thoughts of my own on this and think I’m more useful as…

However, you’ll never have to worry about it when using professional Premiere Pro intro templates to create your opening scenes. The intro is arguably the most important part of a video.

With thousands of options available, however, it can be quite difficult sorting the good from the not so good. In addition, you need to be very selective when deciding on what kinds of plugins you want to…

Pricing is one of the most challenging aspects of being a freelance web designer. More specifically, determining what a client will receive in exchange for a particular price. The struggle is real. In my two-plus decades of running a business, this is still an area where I falter from time to time. The line between…

These books are excellent foundations, though may be a bit dated for more modern development. I found the core html and JavaScript that is covered in these books is well written and full of great diagrams and illustrations. The content is very well structured, guiding you with a good amount of depth through a lot of the fundamental web development concepts. The jQuery content isn’t quite as relevant as it was a few years ago, and there have been some new features and syntax changes from when these were written (mostly not new things you can do, it just now takes less typing). If you are looking to get a solid background in the basics of web development, these are some great resources. If you’re looking to get more of a jumpstart on modern development practices these might not be quite what you’re looking for.

Hi Developers,
Currently, I’m in the process of designing my portfolio that I will soon develop. Since I will spend so much time creating it, I will make it open source on GitHub for anyone to use.
Here is the current design: Design Version 0.1.
I will be iterating on this design. I would like to mention that I’m not a web designer by trade. Thus, I am very open to any criticism/feedback. If there is anything you would like to change or add to the portfolio, feel free to send me a message. I will consider all requests.
