DAVID WHEATLEY

A front-end web developer from West Sussex, UK


HELLO!

Usually, people's portfolio websites are super fancy, well-crafted, but also
bloated and heavy. Not mine. This site is statically generated from
fully-fledged React into simple, performant, and powerful HTML, CSS and
Javascript with Gatsby.js.

I prefer simple websites. Websites which are responsive and perform well on all
devices, no matter how old and slow. Websites are for everyone, so everyone
should be able to use them, no matter their device or internet connection.


TAKE A PEEK AT SOME PROJECTS THAT I'VE WORKED ON OVER THE YEARS.
