Welcome to my online portfolio, I am Hillary, a passionate web developer specializing in creating dynamic, user-focused websites. I look forward to sharing my expertise and helping bring your vision to life. Guided by a keen eye for design and functionality, I craft engaging digital experiences that resonate with users.
Thanks for checking out my online portfolio! I’m Hillary Forget, a Full Stack Web Developer with a deep passion for crafting web experiences that make life simpler. I specialize in creating multilingual WordPress websites for small businesses and municipalities, most recently with Calumet Media. My goal is to build functional, problem-solving tools that users can rely on with ease. I thrive on the challenge of turning complex problems into clean, intuitive solutions that enhance user experience and remove stress from their daily lives.
What drives me most is the opportunity to help others. Whether it’s bringing a client’s vision to life or designing an interface that solves real-world problems, I am committed to making a positive impact. I believe empathy is key to creating meaningful connections, both with the people I work with and the users I build for. Having faced my own challenges, I know how transformative a little kindness and support can be, and I carry that ethos into my work.
I particularly enjoy building websites for small businesses—the underdogs that I love to see succeed. While I’m adaptable and open to exploring any industry, I find the greatest satisfaction in empowering organizations to reach their goals through thoughtful, efficient digital solutions.
Outside of work, I prioritize balance and self-care. I’m an outdoor enthusiast and a passionate home cook, always experimenting with new vegetarian dishes. While I go the extra mile for my clients, I also make sure to recharge my batteries so I can keep delivering my best.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to find remote opportunities that allow me to continue to grow both personally and professionally and to build mutually beneficial connections.
I’m committed to building digital solutions that are functional, engaging, and tailored to each project’s needs. With my diverse skill set of web development, design, and optimization, I deliver seamless, high-performing websites that leave a lasting impact.
