My new website is live! 🎉 jamesbarnes.ca started as a simple portfolio. Since returning to freelancing, I've grown it into a proper home for my business, with my services, a blog, and a quote builder that gives you a ballpark price before we ever get on a call. I first went freelance in 2016, designing and building websites for business owners. I loved the variety, and the clients who cared deeply about what we were making together. When I moved to Montreal in 2021, I stepped back to focus on full-time engineering roles, but I never stopped missing that work. So I'm back, and taking on independent projects again. I handle the whole process end to end: from the first conversation and the design in Figma, through to clean front-end code in Astro, Svelte, React or WordPress, and on to launch. If you're at an agency or studio with more front-end work than your team can take on, or you need someone to own a design system or product UI from first sketch to shipped code, I'd love to hear from you. The same goes for small businesses ready for a website that reflects the quality of their work. And the work doesn't stop at launch. I'm there afterwards with ongoing improvements, audits and growth strategy, so your site keeps pace as your business evolves. Have a project in mind, or know a team that does? Send me a message and let's talk.
