Open source
Every project here has a public repo you can read, clone, or fork. No sign-up, no email gate.
Each repo has a README covering setup, the stack, and what the project needs to run.
All three themes are built on Sage with Blade templates, so once you know one, you can find your way around the others.
The theme running matthummel.com is public as well, in matthummel-theme.
The repos I send developers to first. The list updates on its own when I change my pins.

Inside each one
Every project page follows the same layout, so you can compare them side by side. Shops can skim the story and the demo. Developers can jump to the stack and the repo.
In plain words, before any tech talk.
What it is built on, and which plugins it needs.
Click through it yourself, or see the pages a visitor lands on first.
The parts a shop can change without calling a developer.
A link to the public repo, with a README.
The ones I get most, and a short form for yours.
These aren’t client sites. They’re samples I built and wrote up the same way, so you can judge the work. If one fits what you need, write and say which.
Three steps
You don’t need a perfect match. Open one, look around, then write.
Click a card. Read the short story. Try the demo if there is one. No account needed.
Look at the screenshots and the tools I used. Close is good enough.
Tell me the role, or what you would change. I reply within one business day (ET).
Questions
Short answers for hiring managers and shops.
No. These are samples I built in public. Client and employer work stays private unless a shop asks to show it.
Yes. Write and tell me what you want. I take full-time, contract, and freelance work.
On GitHub. Every project on this page has a public repo, linked in the table above and on each project page. The code section lists what I have pushed to lately.
