Phone first
I design for the smallest screen first and let the layout grow, so nothing feels like an afterthought on mobile.
Front end
The part people actually see and use. I build it by hand so it loads fast, reads well and works on every screen, from a small phone to a wide monitor.

What I use
-
HTML
Clean, meaningful markup that screen readers, search engines and browsers all understand.
-
CSS
Layouts that adapt to any screen, careful spacing and type, and motion that respects people who turn it off.
-
JavaScript
Interaction without the weight: menus, animations, forms and small tools, often with no framework at all.
-
Astro
Content-heavy sites that ship almost no JavaScript. The Ametrine Foundation site is built with it.
How I approach it
Fast by default
Few requests, small files, and no heavy libraries unless they earn their place.
Accessible
Keyboard navigation, readable contrast, real buttons and links, and less motion for anyone who asks for it.
