Hello & Welcome

I design and build digital products that work.

I'm Joseph Kotvas—UX/UI designer, developer, and founder of Jokma Web Solutions. For over two decades, I've partnered with businesses, schools, and nonprofits to architect and engineer effective web solutions.

I specialize in End-to-End User Experience Design, Advanced Theme Development, and Systems Integration. Whether working solo, embedding with your team, or scaling up with my own network of professionals, I adapt to your operational needs.

Core Capabilities:

  • UI/UX Design: Wireframing and prototyping intuitive, user-centric interfaces in Figma, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
  • Front-End Engineering: Building interactive, scalable front ends using React, modern JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS.
  • CMS Customization: Engineering bespoke solutions within WordPress, Shopify, and other leading platforms (PHP/JS).

Currently available for freelance partnerships. To start a conversation, contact me at projects@jokma.com
