Reviews
A course by Javier Usobiaga Ferrer
Web designer Javier Usobiaga has spent over a decade working as a specialist in front-end web development, designing responsive websites from start to finish. With his experience and expertise, he cofounded Swwweet studio alongside Marta Armada.
He also enjoys sharing his knowledge by leading web-design workshops and teaching at prestigious schools like Elisava and IDEP.
Javier understands the web in its totality, not only making it look visually appealing on screen, but also optimizing its usability across all devices and in different contexts.
According to him, "how fast a page loads and responds is every bit as important as the aesthetic, and something that is often overlooked in our line of work." His approach combines the aesthetic appeal of art with the technical solidity of programming, creating an unbeatable user experience.
