WEBDEVELOPER

Web Developer · Web Producer · Web Content Specialist

I build websites for small businesses and keep them running. The pages, forms, booking links, content and handoff all get the same attention.

Builds with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, React, WordPress, Wix, HubSpot, n8n, Vercel, Tailwind CSS and GSAP.

REAL SITES.
REAL UPKEEP.

01

EZ Animal Care

Pet care business, Broward County. A custom website rebuilt from the ground up after reviewing the previous WordPress site.

  • Rebuilt the whole site in handwritten HTML, CSS and JavaScript, hosted on Vercel
  • Integrated Cal.com scheduling into the page
  • Wrote the client handoff guide and ran several code reviews before launch

Skycam Transport

A freight carrier in North Carolina needed its first website. I built a clear introduction to its services and a direct way to request a quote.

  • Built the site in Vite, React and TypeScript with a serverless quote form
  • Documented a design system so the client can extend it
  • Ran two independent QA passes, including keyboard, focus and color contrast checks

Melissa's Pet Pawlor

Dog grooming at home, across Duval and St. Johns. A site that introduces the groomer and makes it easy to get in touch.

  • Designed and built the site in React with GSAP motion
  • Graded and cropped the client's own photos for the web
  • Made text messaging the primary contact action, because that is how she works

Flip Check

A migration preflight prototype. It brings checks for supplied redirects, domain records and page tags into one place.

  • Plain HTML front end with a Node serverless function doing the checks
  • Checks the supplied redirects, domain records and tag IDs, then flags results for review
  • Brings repeatable launch checks together in one place

A LITTLE
ABOUT ME.

I'm Desmond, a web developer based in South Florida. I like taking a page from the first idea through the small details that make it work, then looking after it once it is live. At work I care about clear communication, thoughtful design, and making things easier for the people who use what I build.

Away from the screen I'm a husband and a dad, and my wife and daughter are a big part of my life. I grew up in the Bahamas, so the outdoors is home to me, fishing and camping most of all. I play basketball, enjoy weightlifting, cycling, and I love unwinding with a good game of chess or sudoku.

HOW I WORKTHE PART BEHIND THE PICTURE

MAKE IT WORK.
MAKE IT FEEL RIGHT.

  1. 01

    Build with intent.

    Semantic structure, responsive layouts, and clear paths through the content. The page should make sense with the CSS turned off.

  2. 02

    Connect the pieces.

    Booking tools, forms, content workflows, and the steps that follow a click. A site is a system, not a picture.

  3. 03

    Check, then hand it over.

    Links, keyboard navigation, focus states, small screens, a launch checklist, and an editor guide the client can actually use.
