CREATOR. DESIGNER. DEVELOPER.

I bring mockups to life
and speak fluent UX.

Hi, I'm April! I am a web developer with an eye for design and a passion for providing the best UX for clients. I translate techspeak into analogies all stakeholders can follow.

Why work with me?

There are some terrible stereotypes about front-end developers. Most developers are more nuanced, but
I am definitely not your stereotypical front-end developer.

Developer Stereotypes

April Taylor

Not creative - just write code
Experienced with both Creative Cloud and VS Code.
Not concerned with the end customer experience.
Listens to feedback & looks for best user experience
Speaks technical jargon above people's heads
Uses real life analogies that everyone can grasp.
Introvert that works best solo, not a team player.
Self starter, but thrives in teams. Work is fun together!

Avoid frustration for your team and your users

Anyone can build a website these days. At least, that's what you thought. You don't just need a website; you need a great user experience. Pretty aesthetics are pointless if you can't complete a transaction.

Have a pleasant project experience and user experience.

You will feel heard and seen while working together, and will understand the reasons behind every step and decision along the way. Best of all, your website will be engaging and functional.
