What is included in the package?
Design & Usability
The power of YOOtheme & UIkit
The YOOtheme Pro page builder is perfect for creating beautiful page layouts. It is a tool for developers who appreciate extensibility and clean, semantic code. With YOOtheme we can separate design work-flow from content management, using site-wide templates for the blog posts, categories, pages etc. It is built on top of the UIkit CSS framework, one of the most powerful font-end design frameworks. With YOOtheme everything is fully responsive and works perfectly on every device. The best image sizes are served automatically, even for high resolutions displays, and the latest technologies are used to reduce the time of the first meaningful paint of your website to provide a great user experience.
Here are some advantage of separating design from content:
- simplifying the content editing process
- reuse of data: the same content be presented differently in different contexts
- multiple output formats: different media (paper, online), different sizes (manuals, reports), different classes of output devices (workstations, hand-held devices)
- styles tailored to the reader’s preference (e.g., accessibility): simplified layout for audio readers
- changing styles site-wide: a new design can be applied to the content at any time

He had been personally recommended by the chair of our board of directors and he did not disappoint!

James Alexander
Human Design Coach & Trainer, ChicagoKamyar stands out amongst the website developers I have worked with. I could tell he would be an ideal long term partner for my website needs with his very calm, grounded, demeanor and his ability to explain complex technical subject matter in a simple, plainspoken, way. He quickly understood my vision and was able to add to it with great suggestions on improving my UX, SEO, and overall digital marketing. I found him to be completely reliable throughout the web development process. He promptly answered questions, addressed issues with my site, and delivered the site on schedule. His process is entirely transparent and I always had a clear sense of his progress. I highly recommend Kamyar, and look forward to working with him again soon on other projects.

Founders, Via Hygeia, EdirneWe are very happy to have met Kamyar, first as a friend then as a partner to design our website. He was very patient and helpful, since we knew roughly what we wanted, but haven't decided yet on the subtile details. He approached us as a coach, making us contemplate about our goals, target group and personal style. Kamyar is not only present during the development phase but also in the after sales service, always looking for the greater good of his customers. We are delighted to have a well-designed website with an easy to use content management system.

Founder of Orca Dreams, Scholar, BerlinI am in love with my Orca Dreams website. I love the clean, simple and aesthetic design that meets functionality. Everyone who visited my website stated its beauty, its clarity and the way it gave them calm and peace, which is fully in line with my work on holistic health and mindfulness. It was a joy working with Kamyar. From the beginning to the end, he listened deeply to my work concept, my ideas, wishes and dreams. He helped me to become clearer in the organization and presentation of my ideas and my work. Kamyar took time with each detail, and made room for custom tailored functions as needed. I also appreciate him teaching his customers on how to use the website, giving training and support during the process and having options for follow-up support.

At a practical level, he delivered solutions that maintain the balance between design/art and information. He also infused the process with creative suggestions on design improvements in relation to user needs. His technical knowledge combined with his acute intuitive perceptive senses resulted in a practical special online platform, a website that is easy to update and expand."
