Alex Powelson
Web designer and developer in Salt Lake City, Utah
I worked professionally as a web developer and software engineer from 2016-2024; I now do freelance web design and development. I am open to collaborating with small, local businesses and non-profit organizations, and I prefer to work with people who are located in Salt Lake City.
Most of my experience building websites has been using WordPress, but I also have experience with SquareSpace and similar website builders. This site was built on Neocities with just HTML and CSS!
I think websites are such an important representation of people and places because unlike social media, you have total control over the aesthetic and functionality of your site. I don't use AI at all to build my sites (or, period) because I like keeping my critical thinking skills intact. (and the environmental cost of such tools doesn't seem worth it to me!)
fun facts
I play drums in a band, and made our website using Neocities as well:
do u have a band (or other fun thing?) and want a website? maybe i will do it for free or for almost free... trade... etc... hello@alexpow.com otherwise u must pay $50/hour (so cheap bcuz i am rlly fast at coding and dragging and dropping)
I have 2 cats (Shaggy & Lila), 2 rabbits (Spike & Giles), 3 chickens (Doctor Eggman, Togepi, and Birdo), 0 cars, and 3 bikes (unnamed).
