For us, Robb has built:

1. A full billing system
2. A premium content access system
3. A scalable email marketing system

All have transformed our business and you’d be daft to miss out on bringing him in to transform your business too.

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month

Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

What I do - Robb Owen

From interaction design to scaleable design systems, single-page apps to something more experimental with WebGL. I help awesome people to build ambitious yet accessible web projects

This is it. 86,791 words. 836 emdashes. 625 `const`, 141 `let`, 16 `var`. One (1) reference to the pause music from Battletoads for the NES.

Spread the word: JavaScript for Everyone launches tomorrow.

A Majora's-Mask-style "Dawn of The Final Day. 24 Hours Remain" title card, but using the JavaScript for Everyone Atari-style type and branding. The background is made up of two low-angle perspective views of rectangles on grids that meet at a sharp line, resembling a horizon.

And if you still have a DISCOUNT CODE, use it or lose it. We're going to disable them this week and convert the associated tickets to general ones.
