      <description>&lt;p&gt;I Design AND Code — Here's What I've Built (Available for Freelance)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most clients face the same problem: they hire a designer who can't code, or a developer who can't design. I do both.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm a frontend developer and UI designer. I design in Figma and build in React / Next.js — delivering pixel-perfect results without the back-and-forth between two different people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I've Built&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zenn — Mobile fintech app UI. Wallet dashboard, peer-to-peer transfers, transaction history. Dark theme with purple accents.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pulse — Fitness tracking app UI. Workout summaries, exercise logs, progress charts. Built for serious athletes.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Arcé — Premium e-commerce product page. Editorial layout, 3D viewer, size selector, add-to-cart flow.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nexus — SaaS analytics landing page. Animated particle background, live dashboard mockup, pricing, FAQ.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;APEX Admin — E-commerce admin dashboard. Metrics, order table, charts, activity feed. Dark/neon aesthetic.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kumo — Premium Japanese restaurant landing page. Animated hero, reservation system, gold accents.&lt;br&gt;
🔗 Live preview&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built 3 web templates from scratch here's what i made</title>

      <guid>https://dev.to/mertintech11/i-built-3-web-templates-from-scratch-heres-what-i-made-3h74</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I ' ve been building portfolio projcets this month , and I decided to turn three of them into templates anyone can use. &lt;br&gt;
No frameworks no page builders just clean HTML , CSS , JavaScript. Here's what i build and what i learned from each one&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kumo — Premium Restaurant Website&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea: Most restaurant websites look generic. I wanted to build something that actually felt premium — the kind of site a high-end Tokyo restaurant would have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's in it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Animated hero section with parallax scrolling&lt;br&gt;
Reservation and menu showcase sections&lt;br&gt;
Gallery with hover effects&lt;br&gt;
Dark theme with gold accents&lt;br&gt;
Fully responsive&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I learned: Typography makes or breaks a luxury design. I spent more time on font pairing and letter-spacing than on any other element. Serif + minimal sans-serif with a lot of whitespace = instant premium feel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Live preview: mertlucid12.github.io/portfolio/kumo-restaurant.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nexus — SaaS Analytics Landing Page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea: SaaS landing pages all look the same. I wanted to build one that felt alive — animated background, real dashboard mockup, the works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's in it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Animated particle network background (canvas API)&lt;br&gt;
Live dashboard mockup with data cards and bar charts&lt;br&gt;
Feature grid, 3-tier pricing table&lt;br&gt;
Testimonials, FAQ with accordion&lt;br&gt;
Parallax scroll effects&lt;br&gt;
Fully responsive&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I learned: Canvas animations are expensive on performance if you're not careful. I had to limit particle count and optimize the render loop to keep it smooth. Also — a hero section with a real product mockup converts way better than abstract illustrations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Live preview: mertlucid12.github.io/portfolio/nexus-saas.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;APEX Admin — E-commerce Dashboard&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea: Admin dashboards are usually ugly and functional. I wanted to prove they can be both beautiful and functional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's in it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sidebar navigation with active states&lt;br&gt;
4 metric cards with sparkline charts&lt;br&gt;
Orders table with status pills (Delivered, Processing, Pending, Cancelled)&lt;br&gt;
Revenue bar chart + Top Products list&lt;br&gt;
Activity feed + Donut chart for category breakdown&lt;br&gt;
Dark/neon aesthetic (cyan + green accents)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I learned: Data visualization is its own design discipline. The hardest part wasn't the layout — it was making numbers feel meaningful at a glance. Color coding, micro-typography, and spacing do most of the heavy lifting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Live preview: mertlucid12.github.io/portfolio/apex-admin.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's Next&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm continuing to build — currently exploring a project management dashboard and a mobile app UI kit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If any of these are useful to you, I've listed them as templates on Gumroad. And if you need something custom built, I'm available for freelance work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Get the templates: mertsy71.gumroad.com&lt;br&gt;
Hire me for custom work: fiverr.com/mertintech&lt;br&gt;
