Markus Kison — Freelance Web Developer, Berlin

Experience & Expertise

Profile

I build fast, maintainable websites and web applications that perform flawlessly on all devices.

With many years of experience in Berlin's creative coding community, I specialize in transforming your design templates into modern, responsive sites. Your designs are implemented with pixel-perfect accuracy and careful attention to detail. The result: lean, easy-to-maintain, custom-coded solutions—without costly page-builder subscriptions or intrusive cookie banners.

Tech stack & References

Selected Projects

Below you’ll find a selection of websites I have developed and currently maintain for my clients.

Over the years, I’ve built websites for individuals, companies, and institutions—sometimes working independently, other times as part of a larger team where I focus on specific components of bigger web applications. My tech stack integrates design tools for asset creation and design handoff (Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud), Visual Studio Code as my primary code editor, various CMS platforms (Kirby, WordPress, Webflow), and Tailwind as my preferred CSS framework. I use Parcel for bundling and rely on Three.js to create web-based 3D experiences. Occasionally, I also handle the web design process myself, ensuring a cohesive, end-to-end solution.

Web application

clickMapMaker

Development of a javascript based browser tool that allows graphic designers to create interactive images without coding.

After uploading a background image, users define areas of interest by placing markers onto the image. For each of these areas an info box is created into which users can enter a headline and additional information as well as an image. The interactive image is exported to a single html file and embedded into websites. The tool was used by designers working at welt.de to build interactive stock charts, maps and illustrations.
