I am a freelance web designer + developer
Hi. This is information about me (mostly professionally).
I am a friendly Finnish guy and I do this work because I like trying to figure out what's the best solution to your problem. Somehow its fun and motivating. I also have my artistic aspirations (and people pay me to do this), so it does kind of make sense that I like it.
What is required to make a good website? Well, I recommend having some initial strategy or direction on let's say, about how your business should operate or what it should achieve on the web. What I mean is that what goes into a good website goes far beyond using the latest technology or having some fancy graphics. (Having planned your website ahead of time is also likely to save you money in the actual development process.)
So figuring that stuff out is what I do and I would be happy to talk more about that over some coffee.
So I enjoy my work. Other things I like are people, sun and even sometimes a little snow and cold (on a per demand basis only!). I also like sports, especially football and golf, visiting new places and eating spicy foods.
