freelance frontend website developer

Leeroy Lugg is a Wiltshire based, frontend website designer and developer. As well as being the owner and creative director at Suspire Media, he is also available to hire as a freelancer on an hourly or project basis. He has been developing successful websites since 1998.

Code/CMS

I spend most of my working day editing and writing CSS, HTML, JQuery and PHP. From time to time, I also tinker with Markdown, Smarty and TWIG.

I avoid bloated frontend-frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation and instead use the lightweight and modular UIkit.

I have developed websites using: Textpattern, CMSMS, Wordpress, PICO, Koken and Grav. My current CMS of choice is ProcessWire.

Dev Tools

For creating website compositions, wire-framing and other site graphics, I use Serif’s fantastic vector tool ‘Affinity Designer’. For photography, I use Serif’s professional photo editing tool ‘Affinity Photo’. For writing and editing code, I use ‘VSC’. As for code checking, I use VCS validation plugins and the browser's ‘Inspect Tools’.

Server file management and development tools include: Laragon, MAMP, Transmit, Filezilla, CPanel and for site backups/SQL management - phpMyAdmin.

Core Skills

I design bespoke, responsive, target-audience-focused websites that are mostly designed within the browser.

I regularly write website documentation, including: CMS maintenance, best practice guides and style-guides for editors. I also plan, write and present CMS training sessions for clients.

Other skills include: information architecture, project management, SEO, accessibility, usability and UX design.

Built with HTML, CSS, YAML, ARIA, TWIG, MARKDOWN and PHP.
