About Hannah Wood
About Hannah Wood
Hi, I’m Hannah — a front-end web developer and digital marketing specialist based in the UK. I’ve spent the last several years building websites, working on client projects, growing content sites, and writing code across a fairly wide stack.
This handbook is a place where I keep notes, reference snippets, and tutorials on the things I work with most. If it’s useful to you too, that’s a bonus.
What I work on
My work sits across a few different areas:
Front-end development — I build UI components and interfaces using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I’ve worked with Material UI, Redux, and GraphQL in production codebases, and I’m comfortable in Agile environments doing code reviews, debugging, testing, and performance optimisation.
WordPress & freelance builds — I build and improve WordPress websites for clients: landing pages, client sites, content hubs, newsletters, and SEO structures. I mainly use Kadence for builds and have also worked with Elementor.
Content websites — I run and manage content sites covering travel and other niches. This involves content strategy, UX, site structure, SEO, affiliate marketing, and monetisation.
Why I created this handbook
I learn by writing things down. This handbook started as a personal reference — somewhere to keep clean, practical notes on syntax, patterns, and concepts without having to dig through documentation every time.
Over time it grew into something more structured. The idea is that every section should be quick to scan, easy to use as a reference mid-project, and practical above everything else — actual code, not abstract theory.
My background
My skills span:
- Languages & frameworks: React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, GraphQL
- Tools & libraries: Material UI, Redux, Gatsby, Contentful, REST APIs
- WordPress: Kadence, Elementor, custom builds, client site management
- Other: Responsive design, accessibility, SEO, content strategy, performance optimisation, Agile / team collaboration
I’ve worked as a Frontend Engineer on team projects and as a freelancer on independent client work. I also run content websites that I manage end-to-end, which means I think about both the technical side and the audience side of building things for the web.
