Hello, I'm Gavin, and 4uxdesign is my freelance full-stack web development business. Based in Buckfastleigh, Devon, UK, I work with clients worldwide, delivering high-quality digital solutions. My design philosophy is rooted in simplicity. As an advocate of Occam's Razor, I believe that the most effective solutions are often the simplest. Clean, efficient code leads to optimal performance, not by omitting features, but by ensuring that every included feature serves a clear and necessary purpose.

Performance and longevity come from solutions that are coded efficiently This will save you money over the lifetime of the product and who doesn't want that?

Here's the nerdy bit. I build solutions using combinations of HTML5, CSS3, JavascriptES6, Python3 and others. I use libraries such as Bootstrap5, Tailwind CSS and jQuery3.7 slim, frameworks incl. Flask and Django combined with PostgreSQL databases. For e-commerce solutions I recommend using Shopify and I can help you build your perfect shop using this technology. Whilst this is by no means an exhaustive list you may be wondering what it all means.

The TLDR; is that these technologies allow me to help you by building the website you need.

I maintain my profile on Github a website that developers use to store and share code.

My profile can be found here: Github Profile

Whether you are looking for a striking landing page or a full e-commerce solution I can help you by building a site that is tailored to your needs. I build bespoke solutions at a great price. As a full-stack web developer I understand both the frontend (what you see in your browser) and the backend (the bit that stores the data, user accounts, product details etc).

If you would like to speak to me about how I can help you and your business then feel free to send me a message using the form on this website or by email. I typically respond within 48hrs. If you would like to discuss a project more urgently then feel free to call me on 07423463521.

Portfolio

Welcome to my portfolio. Here you will find five of my favourite projects showcasing my skills and experience in web application development.

4uxdesign

This website, built using HTML5, CSS3 and Bootstrap5. The site also features custom Javascript for the cookie banner, a contact form using EmailJS and a Bootstrap5 modal for the 'About 4uxdesign' section. The Bootstrap5.3 source files have been downloaded rather than using a CDN. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages with a custom domain name.

Expresso

This was the third milestone project for my diploma studies. A web app POS system allowing the user to build a custom inventory of items for sale. Designed with a mobile first approach the idea was that the POS could be combined with a mobile based contactless payment app and allow small businesses or car boot/market sellers to easily track sales. The backend allowed sales to be exported as a .csv file that could then be imported into suitable accounting software. A full-stack application with a responsive frontend built using HTML5 and Bootstrap5 CSS/Javascript. The backend was built using Python3 and Flask with a PostgreSQL database. The site was hosted on Heroku and was live when graded but has since been archived.

The Blue Box Shop

This was the fourth and final project for my diploma studies. The idea was for a Doctor Who merchandise shop. A full-stack e-commerce application with a responsive frontend built using HTML5, CSS3, JavascriptES6, Bootstrap5.3 plus jQuery3.7. The backend was built using the Django framework, custom Python3 with a PostgreSQL database. The site featured an online shop with a custom built checkout utilising Stripe for payments. Users had the option to create an account and login to view their order history. A site admin could add, edit and delete products, categories, users and orders. Final deployment was on Heroku, the static images hosted on AWS and the database on Tembo.io. The site was live when graded but has since been archived.
