I'm an aspiring web designer from Switzerland creating simple yet beautiful websites.
My name is Sacha Schmid and I have a passion for great design on the web. Take a look at my work, read more about me or get in touch with me.
Visus is a Tumblr theme offering a wide range of features to allow each and everyone to have a design tailored to their preference.
This was the second time I developed a Tumblr theme so I was already used to some of the benefits and problems. I used my own boilerplate on this one for the first time, which was a pleasant experience.
Not available yetdropdead.js is a simple jQuery plugin to create nice iPad-style overlays from plain old <select> elements.
dropdead.js started as nothing but a quick design practice. I tried to recreate Apple's dropdown menus used on the iPad and it worked out pretty good. That's why I decided to create a jQuery plugin and make it available for free on my site.

Working on this website was the first time I had the chance to do client work. The site is built responsive, though not mobile first, it's progressively enhanced and built using HTML5 and CSS3.

Working with Tumblr themes was a really great experience. The latest version of the theme is responsive so it looks even better on mobile devices.

Most sites rely heavily on text to distribute information. This is why typography is an important part of every design. Colours, readability, leading, etc, it takes a careful eye to achieve good typography.
Web standards help making sites easier to use and to maintain. I follow the latest developments in HTML and CSS closely so I can deliver websites that are future-proof.
Nowadays we browse the web from various platforms—desktop PCs, tablets and smartphones, just to name some—and all of these platforms have their own benefits. This is why it's important to have a design that suits different screens and platforms.
The web can sometimes be a frustrating place to spend time on. I want the web to be a pleasant experience that everybody can enjoy, because without its users, the web would be rather pointless.
I offer a wide range of services. I do my work on the web. I create beautiful websites, great blog designs, make pages faster and optimise load times, improve accessibility of websites and define social media presence.
