Fast, durable websites from the Last Best Place

I'm Joel Wilson, a frontend engineer in Helena. For the past nine years I've built websites and apps for watershed councils, trail crews, trout chapters, restaurants, and publishers across Montana, mostly in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

How I work

Accessible by default
I build to WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic HTML, keyboard and screen-reader testing, axe and Lighthouse checks, sufficient color contrast, alt text, and captions.
Easy for your staff to update
Sites run on a content management system, usually WordPress, so the people who know the content can change it themselves.
Fast on any connection
Lean pages and optimized images that load quickly on phones and rural connections.

From the lab

Side projects and tools I build to try new things.
