Hello, I am

Terek Janczik

Hi, I’m Terek Janczik, a UI Designer & UX Developer based in South Africa. I am extremely passionate and dedicated to my work and learning further in my career field.

With 6 years of experience as a website designer & developer, I have acquired the skills necessary to build feature-rich and premium websites.

I was first introduced to website design a few years before I began work as an intern website developer however, I was not aware at the time that I would fall in love with frontend and backend design. I have primarily been using WordPress during my years of web design however I am always looking to expand my knowledge.

Lately I have been focusing heavily on web application UI Design and UX Development. The tech stack is comprised of the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node) paired with TailwindCSS.

I aim to improve on a skill every day and I am studying part-time to improve my capability and abilities in the workplace. There are a vast amount of web design languages and frameworks out there that I would like to learn including Angular, React, Vue, Node.js, mySQL, PHP and Python, to name a few.

Current stack

The mean stack mongo db, express, angular and node js

The MEAN stack comprises of MongoDB for database management, Express for database connection, Angular as the javascript framework and NodeJS for server-side logic. This is a fairly common stack and I have enhanced it by using TailwindCSS, a minimal and lightweight css framework which automagically reduces in size to only render the components used on a website.

Frequently asked questions

To create a website you need 2 things; A domain which is the address your website will be located at, for example my domain address is terek.dev, and hosting which is the storage space your website files need on a server. After you have these two in place you can look at having your website designed.

Websites can range from free if you do it yourself to hundreds of thousands if you want something extremely custom and large.

Choose a domain which is relevant to what will be on your website and try to keep it simple with minimal punctuation and as short as possible.

All text and image content should be provided to your website designer. The web design process is iterable meaning it will change as the website is created and grows. Account details to certain services may need to be provided however, your web designer will let you know beforehand.
