One Stop Doctors
The site uses vanilla JavaScript, for the most part, coupled with clean CMS-driven HTML pages and Sass.
I had to make the site alongside the designer, who was happy that my code matched his designs to the pixel and that I was able to make his animations into a reality.
My dedication to the project came through in that I was in the office until gone midnight on the launch day to make sure everything went smoothly and the client was happy!
MSD Nordics Portal
https://msdinsight.no/I worked with another developer on the project; we ran QA on each other's work to make sure it worked as expected.
The Gym Group
http://www.thegymgroup.comThe front end had some complicated animations to transition through the join journey and was created entirely with a mobile-first approach.
The front end had to be accessible (Level AA Conformance) which meant periodically running it through an evaluation tool and making sure the site was structured and referenced correctly as well as compliant in a number of other criteria.
