About

Hello, my name is Johnnier [/Johnny]. I’m a front-end developer who creates simple and effective designs that consider UI / UX techniques. I strive to create intuitive designs that can be rapidly developed into user interfaces that incorporate the latest techniques in responsive design and SEO strategies. In 2004, I created Dilan Design, LLC., a freelance design firm based in West Palm Beach, FL.

I take into consideration the latest web standards and technologies in every project I create.
