Websites
Since 2010, I've been building native WordPress websites for small retail clients. The themes I build use the best standards of the day, are responsive, semantic, User- and Google-friendly.
Super Powers App
While practicing javascript fundamentals, one thing led to another and I made this lovely little web app.
Data Studio Template
All my website clients receive Google Analytics and Search Console set up along with a useful Data Studio report I created.
Eight Questions ( You Might Not Know ) to Ask Your Web Developer
Fresh, interesting and professional communications — with real people — are the cornerstone of marketing to loyal, long-term customers. Don’t let your website get in the way, or send the wrong signals by having hidden flaws. Ask if your website is as well-crafted on the inside as it is on the outside.
UX via BMSU
UX, the User's Experience with your website—your business—doesn't happen by chance. Professionals have been studying what people need when they are looking for a product or service online for decades. One of my own former websites uses the formula taught by Business Made Simple University.
About Christine Golden, Frontend Web Developer
Email: Phone: (850) 242-3747
I am a front-end web developer, experienced project manager, and team player. I use the best standards of the day to ensure my clients' websites are fast, searchable, secure and easy to use, whether on a desktop or mobile device.
Formerly CLGolden Website Services, I started offering my services to retail clients in 2010. Today, I am focused on providing well-crafted websites to agencies, designers and teams. The pandemic has afforded me with the time to learn JavaScript and to write about websites, coding and current affairs.
I'm what you might call a 'white hat' developer. I believe in the goodness of the internet, where knowledge and encouragement can enlighten the most isolated corners of humanity. I strive to make the web a better place with every project I work on.
Solving puzzles, bringing order, and watching bits of data turn into beauty and human usefulness are what give me a sense of accomplishment and purpose.
