My name is Ivan Kostic, a founder of webiFed. I’m a Top Rated Plus freelance web developer on Upwork. You can check what my clients say about my work at any time.
Working with front-end at most, my specialty is converting mockups and designs (PSD/Sketch/Figma/AI) to responsive HTML5 & CSS3 code, especially for WordPress custom themes. Personally, I don’t recommend just customizing free/premium bloated themes, I would rather go and code exactly the things suited for your needs and your site. So, building many websites with WordPress had a huge impact on growing my freelance web developer career further. I also created a number of WordPress widgets, including some custom PHP & MySQL projects from scratch like, for instance, a betting script. I’m producing robust, well-commented, and clean coding only – no hard-coding and messy coding!
You must not mistake in your web development choice!
I have 10+ years of experience in making the web a better place, including two years of working experience in local companies. Things have changed a lot in web development in recent years, so in order to keep my freelance web developer career alive, I need to follow the latest trends and methods.
When I was starting, websites were viewed mostly on desktop devices, which isn’t the case anymore! “The Responsive website era” has begun many years ago, and coding for mobile devices is a must today! Also, coding languages evolved, so I’m educated with the latest versions of HTML5, CSS3, JS (ES6). Actually, I write my CSS as modular SCSS in WebPack workflow, as I moved from Gulp recently. More about this will be written in my blog, which I would strongly advise you to follow. It’s unlikely that you can ever stop learning things as a freelance web developer. Therefore in my spare time, I’m exploring one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks today – ReactJS. Coding web apps are in my long-term plans.

You need returning visitors/customers for your websites, and awesome content in order to get succeed in Google rankings. As I already stated, I’m delivering SEO-ready code, and also have a bunch of SEO advice to help you to grow your business to the next level.
