My main focus is hand-coded website work with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, using WordPress or Elementor only when a CMS genuinely supports the project goals.

About me
Hello! I'm Mattia, a freelance web designer focused on creating clear, engaging and user-friendly websites that combine visual impact with practical purpose.
My journey into web design grew from a mix of technical training, digital curiosity, creative interest and real-world professional experience. My first technical qualification gave me an early structured approach to systems, monitoring and the professional use of software, while my long-standing passion for gaming, design and digital environments helped shape the way I look at interfaces, visuals and user experience.
Working in hospitality added another essential layer to that path. Through guest service and supervisory roles, I developed strong communication skills, attention to detail, problem-solving under pressure, team coordination and a deep understanding of how people interact with services, spaces and information. I also created presentations, templates and support materials to improve internal communication and operational clarity.
In 2024 I completed formal Web Designer training and a practical internship, where I worked on WordPress websites, Elementor layouts, SEO-oriented content, plugin configuration, local development environments, maintenance, responsiveness and performance improvements.
In 2025 I continued strengthening my skills through self-directed learning focused on UX principles, accessibility, modern website structure, AI-assisted creative workflows, content hierarchy, conversion-focused design, SEO thinking and performance optimization.
In 2026 I turned that growth into a freelance web design project built around one clear goal: designing websites that look strong, feel intuitive and communicate clearly.

Systems thinking first
Planning, monitoring, testing and maintainability shape the way I approach digital work.
People awareness matters
Client-facing work taught me to communicate clearly, stay calm and keep experiences easy to understand.
Code with purpose
Today I build standalone websites that can stay lightweight on their own and still integrate with wider workflows when needed.
How I work
The goal is not decoration alone. I focus on structure, understanding and dependable delivery so the site feels coherent from the first section to the last interaction.
Structured thinking
I like layouts that guide attention naturally, content blocks that scan well and pages that stay easy to maintain later on.
Communication with empathy
Hospitality taught me to listen properly, read situations quickly and explain progress in a calm, useful way.
Hand-coded focus
My strongest interest is building directly with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, keeping projects self-standing and flexible instead of over-dependent on a CMS.
Continuous refinement
Accessibility, performance, content hierarchy and AI-assisted workflows are part of an ongoing process of testing, learning and improving.
My journey
A path built through technical structure, operational discipline, hospitality communication, formal training and focused self-learning.
