Matthew La France is a seasoned front-end-focused web developer and owner with 15 years of experience crafting accessible, semantically accurate HTML/CSS and practical JavaScript solutions, often within Drupal and other open-source CMS platforms. He combines deep chops in hand-coded markup, PSD-to-web implementation, and PHP module development with pragmatic experience in responsive theming, REST APIs, and Git-based workflows. As proprietor of WonderTrade, LLC and former web programmer at Middlebury College, he blends client-facing design sensitivity and Photoshop proficiency with backend extensibility in Zend/MVC frameworks. Colleagues rely on him for minimal, maintainable markup that separates content from presentation and for keeping sites browser- and device-agnostic. A practical learner, he has extended PHP frameworks, worked with mobile frameworks like Kurogo, and even applied language skills to past translation work—evidence of a resourceful developer comfortable across design, code, and operations.
