The web, design and frontend development

I’m Martin, an interaction designer, frontend developer and co-founder of Frontend NE. I write about the web, accessibility and inclusive, user-centred design. Here’s some more about me and what I’m up to.

Writing

If you prefer to dive straight in rather than see the full blog, here are a couple of my most recent articles to get you started.

  1. Opening links in a new tab or window is better avoided

    A link to an external source opening in a new tab or window is something that appears innocuous but really isn’t as straightforward it seems.

  2. First impressions of iOS 14

    After 24 hours using iOS 14, I’ve found some of the new features unexpectedly useful. Here are my first impressions.

Subjects

There are a few topics that really interest me:

  • Accessiblity is about designing and building web interfaces that can be used by anyone, something I feel very strongly about.
  • Designing smart, usable interfaces, journeys and interactions is what I do best, and I enjoy analysing others’ great design.
  • Frontend development is a huge passion of mine; HTML and CSS in particular, but anything from Git to Gulp.
