Mark Kho.
I design and build websites from brief to launch — layout, content structure, responsive pages, CMS setup, and deployment support. My work combines WordPress, Astro, Sanity, graphic design, and practical UI/UX thinking to create clear, usable websites.
I work across website layout, content structure, CMS builds, responsive design, and visual assets. My focus is simple: make the site clear, usable, editable, and ready to launch.
Based in Southampton, UK. Four years contracting at Fast Forward Search, then independent since 2023. Open to long-term, contract, or team-based roles — on-site or remote.
Extending into product builds — roles, states, and workflows. Sharpening front-end craft with motion work in GSAP, and folding AI into how I actually deliver: faster builds, faster design iterations, and workflows that take the repetitive parts off my desk.
Brief to layout to content to deployment — one person the whole way, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Work out what the site needs to do, who it is for, and what content has to exist. Pages, structure, goals, and constraints are mapped before the layout gets too detailed.
Turn the structure into wireframes, layouts, and content sections. For projects with states — booking, admin, roles — user flows are mapped before the interface is polished.
Build the site in WordPress, Astro, or Sanity with structured, editable content and responsive layouts. The goal is clean implementation that stays maintainable after launch.
Test the live site, check responsiveness, fix content gaps, handle launch setup, and adjust what does not work in practice. Shipping is not the end of the process — it is where the real site starts showing the truth.
