You're here to check whether I'm worth a call

That's what an about page is for, so here's the short version. I'm Aleksi Huusko. I design websites and I build them myself, and I've been doing both for over a decade, mostly with founders and marketing leads whose website stopped looking like the company behind it.

The rest of the page is how I ended up doing both halves and the four ideas the work runs on. None of it needs taking on faith. The Webflow, Framer, and Sanity certifications are public, and the work is live one click from here. Check first, call after.

Aleksi Huusko, web designer and developer, Figma environment.

A designer makes something beautiful and a developer builds something that works. Somewhere between the two, the quality quietly leaks out.

I've watched it happen. Spacing that felt calm in Figma gets cramped on a real phone. An animation that was smooth in the prototype stutters in Safari. Nobody did anything wrong: the designer drew something good, the developer built what he was handed. The gap between them is where it went.

So I stopped handing off. I design in the browser and I build what I draw. When a spacing choice and a performance choice are the same choice, one person should make both.

It took longer to learn. It ships better.

How I think

Four things I keep coming back to

Not values. Conclusions. Each one is here because a project went badly before I understood it, and now I argue about them for a living.

  • The handoff is where quality dies

    So I own both sides of it. Design and code, one person, one mental model.

  • You only own your own site

    Social reach is rented. I build the part of your presence that compounds, and you keep the keys.

  • Best for what?

    No favorite platform, no dogma. The tool has to earn its place on every project, against what your team can actually run.

  • Process beats talent

    Bad websites aren't built by bad designers. They're built without a process. Mine runs on weekly sprints, staging links, and honest reviews.

So, worth a call?

Four principles are easy to write down. The work is where they either hold or they don't, and all of it is live one click away.

If you've seen enough, thirty minutes is the cheapest way to find out whether you'd want me on the project. It costs nothing if the answer is no.
