Jeff Heiser

Web Designer

Some designers focus on trendy techniques or cool animations without considering the adverse effect it has on the usability and the performance of the web site. As a designer, I want to show off my skills. As one who peruses the Internet, I regularly see bothersome techniques (annoying popups, autoplay videos, detailed forms, and needless complex animations) that I try to avoid in my designs. I focus on practicality and the user experience. Since 2011, I have developed sleek modern web sites while continuing to learn the latest design techniques to yield attractive, responsive, and comprehensible sites.

Mobile Designs

I wish to transition from construction to web design front-end web development.

I am a confident and creative designer who is self-motivated, self-sufficient, and detail oriented. I bring to the table proficient managerial, mechanical, and computer skills as well as an old-fashioned work ethic.
