01wirelab · Websites and apps

I build websites and apps to order.

Websites and web apps in Next.js, Astro, Gatsby and Node.js, WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops, and Android apps. I also design electronics: PCBs and embedded software.

Websites, web apps and Android apps, with some electronics alongside. Each project covers the problem, the approach and the outcome.

03Services

Mostly, I build websites and apps.

I pick the tools to suit the project: WordPress when you’ll edit the content yourself, Astro or Next.js when the site should be light, Node.js when there’s a backend to build. Electronics comes up less often, usually when an app has to control hardware.

  • 01 · Websites & shops

    Sites you can edit yourself.

    Company sites and WordPress shops with WooCommerce, or fast sites built with Astro, Gatsby and Next.js. I take care of SEO and make sure the content can be changed without a developer.

    From the interface to the server.

    Apps built from scratch in Node.js and React with TypeScript, backed by PostgreSQL. I build the interface and the API, then set up the server it runs on.

  • 03 · Android

    Apps for the phone and the car.

    Native apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, including Android Auto and Bluetooth LE. WireAmbi and WireDrive in the projects show how that looks.

  • 04 · Electronics

    Boards and prototypes when needed.

    Less often, but I do it too: PCBs in KiCad, embedded C++ on Raspberry Pi and 3D-printed enclosures designed in CadQuery.

04About

I’ve been building websites for 18 years.

I started when websites were written by hand and uploaded over FTP. Then came PHP, WordPress and one generation of tools after another, up to today’s frontend and apps. These days I build sites on WordPress and in Astro or Next.js, plus Node.js and Android apps.

wirelab is me. I work alone, so you talk directly to the person who writes the code and looks after it afterwards. In my spare time I tinker with electronics, and some of that is in the portfolio too.

Path

  1. 2023 — now

    Websites, web apps and Android, plus electronics

    wirelab — WirePress (headless WordPress with Next.js), WireMark in TypeScript, and the WireAmbi app and WireDrive launcher for Android. On the electronics side, the led-auto gateway and a Pico 2 W board.

    EXPERIENCE

    18 years building for the web From hand-written pages and PHP, through WordPress, to Astro, Next.js and Node.js apps. The tools change; the solution still has to work.

  • TP2

    CURIOSITY

    I never stop checking what’s next. New frameworks, tools, AI, architectures and experiments. Not for the hype — to see whether they can actually do something better.

    APPROACH

    Problem first. Technology second. I don’t pick a tool because it’s trendy. I pick it when it helps build a better solution.

05How I work

From brief to a live site.

Four steps, always in this order. Each one ends with something you can see and check.

  1. 01

    Brief

    A few sentences: what it should do, who it’s for and who will edit the content. I ask about budget and deadline, and what you already have: a domain, hosting, an old site.

    → scope and quote

  2. 02

    Prototype

    Mock-ups of the key screens or a first version on a test server. For electronics, a breadboard and the first firmware.

    → something to click through

  3. 03

    Build

    Code, content, SEO and testing on phones and desktops. For a shop, WooCommerce set-up comes on top.

    → production version

  4. 04

    Handover

    Going live, a short guide to editing and the source files. I stay in touch when something needs fixing.

    → live and yours
