Logic’s my wheelhouse. I’m a fan of precision and efficiency, and I bring that into my web development (and writing and editing, for that matter, which I’ve done for articles through novels).

I focus on producing code that:

  1. Lacks dependencies, whenever possible, and is as self-contained as possible for easy modularization.
  2. Goes to sleep if it doesn’t have what it needs to run.
  3. Organizes and annotates default settings for easy customization.
  4. Requires minimal modification to the HTML—i.e., takes advantage of the cascade.
  5. Accommodates disabilities, whenever possible.

When you have >12 years’ experience with HTML and CSS, concepts like “mobile-first” or “responsive” design become irrelevant. They’re just tactics, and like how some writers outline and some don't, neither one is mandatory for a quality result.

Case in point: I designed this demo page on screen and then tweaked just a handful of things for smaller browsers.
