Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2025)

SEEKING WORK | UX/UI & web design

Portfolio: https://seanw.org/

Live example projects: https://checkbot.io/ https://inclusivecolors.com/

Location: Edinburgh, UK and remote (I’m used to time zone differences and async work)

---

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background of launching my own products and being a full stack developer helps me create practical designs that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort, and performance. I work to fixed price quotes for self-contained projects.

---

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO/speed/security problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), marketing, website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

https://center.app/ | Center Pixel, Inc | Product Design & Engineering | Part-Time/Freelance | Palo Alto, CA & Remote | 100k+ and up (we are flexible on salary since we're venture-backed and still a 4-person team)

If you’re in-between companies or looking for an interesting freelance project, we might be a great fit.

Some freelance roles we’re currently seeking include:

- Product Design - Infrastructure / DevOps (pulumi/k8s) - Backend Engineering (node/typescript)

We build web3 developer tools and are most focused on solving the "schlep" types of problems that every team ends up building in house but shouldn't have to.

Building stuff in crypto today is really hard. Imagine if you wanted to put up a personal website and all you had to do was start by breaking ground to build a data center. Your personal page probably would not be that good, would it? Small teams can only focus on so many things; we want them to use center so they can focus on the details that truly matter and make products beautiful.

We want to eliminate all of these annoying, cumbersome, expensive problems that devs face so that they can build incredible user experiences that help people flourish and rise to the level of their ambition, without having to think about if their nodes are online or if their indexer is missing any data.

We started about 3 years ago and have finally started to find product market fit. We're looking to scale the engineering team so that we can finally bring our products to market.

Our investors include Founders Fund, Thrive Capital, SV Angel, @balajis, and many more incredible folks who have taken a chance on us; it's been my mission for the last 3+ years to make sure that everyone involved in this venture does phenomenally well.
