The web, design and front‑end dev

I’m Martin, an interaction designer, front-end development 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. Why I always raise a pull request on solo projects

    The whole point of a PR is to get feedback and approval on a piece of work from someone else before it’s published. But what if it’s just you?

  2. De-prioritising design

    When a friend asked for some CSS tips for a website he works on, I noticed a design issue that actually highlights a common problem in our industry.

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.
  • Front-end development is a huge passion of mine; HTML and CSS in particular, but anything from Git to Gulp.
