About Justin T Jones
I'm Justin; I've been creating websites and web apps for over 10 years. The user-facing web should be built for the users, not for the managers, the metrics, or the bean-counters. That translates to sites and apps that just work, without any annoying fluff or distractions like chat or newsletter signup popups (now called modals because popup is a bad word) or those ridiculously intrusive share to social media buttons that follow you around the page. Of course, share to social buttons, newsletter signups, and chat support widgets all have an appropriate time and place, they can be implemented in such a way that they are available unobtrusively, with tact, and only when they are needed. Relying on solutions that create standards compliant markup can create extremely performant sites and apps while maintaining full browser navigation like forward, back, refresh, and shareable links. Your website should be as easy to update as posting on social media so you can reclaim your content from the big tech giants.
