websites that are minimal and informative. I specialize in responsive
websites and custom applications.
Since 2015, I have worked with small businesses to build their

About Me

I'm a personable and professional web designer & developer, born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. I focus on creating websites that are minimal and informative. I specialize in responsive websites and custom applications. Since 2015, I have worked with dozens of small businesses as a designer and developer. Since 2016, I have co-owned and operated a SAAS company called Gittr, which enables local-level courier companies to provide online ordering to their customers. I have a passion for free information and like to share my knowledge and experience on my blog. I have released free software, including a databaseless blogging system and a simple browser extension. In my free time, I like to be in nature, cycling, cooking, and spending time with my partner & family.
I got interested in web design about 7 years ago when I was building themes for Tumblr blogs. Through that, I learned how to build basic static sites and started toying around with a bunch of small projects. I started learning how to build WordPress themes and was soon hired to build a small website for a local festival.
Before long, I found myself working with dozens of clients. I've worked with multiple local businesses, national corporations, artists, bands, restaurants, and other brands. I'm currently working with multiple clients and am constantly looking for more work. If you're interested in hiring me, feel free to get in touch, either on my contact page, on Twitter, by email to nate@natenorthway.com, or on LinkedIn. I look forward to hearing from you!
