Front-end Developer
I’m Cassy Johnston,
Front-end Developer
Work Experience
I decided to branch out on my own into front-end development. I have since provided assistance on an array of websites and landing page campaigns from e-commerce shopping sites, holiday accommodation, and property development, to an internet service provider and the automotive industry.
I’ve mostly got a knack for front-end development – I love using CSS to make a website look as close to a design as possible. Call me crazy but I find it relaxing; almost like painting by numbers!
I’m best at testing websites and emailers on multiple platforms and fixing the little problems that arise, and over the last 12 years I have moved away from the design side and towards the coding of websites and HTML newsletters. Over this time, I have become passionate about front-end development and CSS.
I also recently decided to refresh my skills by doing the UCT GetSmarter Web development course. I ended up receiving a 90% aggregate which helped me to feel confident in my current skill-set.
