Hi, I'm Simon!

In 2019 I started my journey to build things online.

The last six years I worked with Umso as a Frontend Developer to improve the product and add new features. During that time I built many tools to create, manage and publish websites.

Below are some of my favorite things I've built over the years to showcase my skills and experiences.

Section Animations

This Feature enables users to add animations to their websites that are triggered when a section enters the viewport. The difficulty building this was designing a generalized system that works seamlessly across all sections. Especially implementing staggered animation for multiple elements was complex. This feature is my favorite by far!

This feature is used by over 100,000 websites!

And one user is myself. All Animations you see on this page are working with the system I built.

I enjoy building features that I use myself. This way, it's easier to understand the needs of my customers.

Website Components

In Umso a website is made up of many "sections" which are basically building blocks. One of them is a stat section with a "CountUp" component which displays stats in an engaging way. You can see the code and an example below, which is still in production and used by thousands of users.

Map Section

Another one is a map section where users can show any location with a nice map using Mapbox. It's important to investigate the newest tools & packages that can be integrated to your projects so you get the best results.

Cookie Solution

Coming from Germany there is no way around GDPR compliance. This is why I built a cookie solution to help customers make GDPR compliant websites easier. My work includes a complex settings UI for users as well as the actual cookie banner and consent management modal on published websites!

UX Design

Cookie banners aren't the most attractive things to work with. Still it's mandatory to all users who want to create websites, especially in the EU.

I designed a solid UX to work with, enabling every user to quickly understand and implement the feature.

Domains

Registering, managing and transferring domains is a must-have feature for any website builder, so I added it to Umso. This was one of the biggest features I built yet with over 20,000 lines of code just for the frontend! Overall it was a challenging project that I'm very proud of.

Site Settings

While building a settings UI sounds boring, there are a lot of UX consideration to take into account. After all you want to make easy for users to quickly find what they're looking for even when there are lots of options! I consider user experience design one of the most important skills to build good UI.
