12 years of experience
Frontend developer with 12 years focused on responsive behavior, component quality, and how a template holds up once you start editing it.
About
James has 12 years of frontend development behind him, and he reviews templates the way he would inherit a codebase from someone else. He cares about how the markup is structured, how components are organized, and how much work it takes to change something without breaking three other things. A template that demos well but fights you the moment you edit it does not impress him.
On the team he tests responsive behavior across real breakpoints, checks interaction implementation, and looks at accessibility from the code side: focus order, semantic markup, and keyboard support. His Dev Scores reflect how maintainable a template is in practice, not just whether it renders correctly out of the box.

Role in the scoring process
As one of the five development reviewers, this reviewer scores the build quality of every template independently. Those five independent dev scores are averaged into the published Dev Score.
The published Overall Score is the average of the Design Score and the Dev Score. Read more on the scoring methodology page.
