A practical guide to the Swiss grid
Columns, gutters and baselines explained with real layouts, plus the moments when it pays to break the grid on purpose.
September 18, 2026I'm Norvane, a freelance front-end developer who designs and builds fast, accessible websites. Clean code, careful details, shipped on time.
I started out as a designer and kept learning to code until nothing I drew was out of reach. Today I take small teams from rough idea to shipped product: research, interface, build and launch, with no handoff in between. I care about speed, accessibility and the small details people only notice when they are missing.

Got a project, a question or a half-formed idea? Send me a few lines and I'll reply within one business day with honest next steps and a free quote.
Quick answers about how I work, how long a project takes and what happens after you get in touch. Anything missing? Just ask.
I offer logo and branding, web design, web development and app development — from first sketches to launch and beyond. Every engagement is tailored to your goals, timeline and budget, so you get exactly what your project needs.
Every project starts with discovery: your goals, audience and constraints. From there I move through design concepts, feedback rounds, development and testing, keeping you in the loop at each milestone before launch.
I work primarily remotely with clients worldwide, using video calls and shared boards to stay aligned. For local clients, in-person workshops and kickoff meetings are always an option.
A branding package usually takes two to three weeks, a marketing website four to six weeks, and web or app builds six to twelve weeks depending on scope. You'll get a detailed schedule before we start.
Absolutely. The four core services are starting points — most projects blend them. Tell me what you're trying to achieve and I'll shape a package around your goals and budget.
I design in Figma and build with modern HTML, CSS, JavaScript and frameworks like Astro and React, with Node-based back ends and app tooling where needed. Everything is chosen for speed, maintainability and SEO.
