Hey there! I’m Apple Ilagan, the creative brain behind AppleByte Art – a self-taught designer and front-end developer who’s been jazzing up the web since 1999. What started as a passion for design quickly grew into a full-blown obsession with creating visually stunning, user-friendly experiences.
Over the years, I’ve fine-tuned my skills with a special love for UX/UI design, giving websites complete facelifts that are both beautiful and functional.
As the digital world grew, so did the opportunities. I saw how the landscape of Internet marketing was shifting—automation, paperless, and global reach were the name of the game. That’s when I realized I could combine my techie side with my creative flair. From web design to crafting book covers, comics, and coloring books, I dove headfirst into the world of creative possibilities. And let’s be real, AI tools make it all even more fun, helping me push the boundaries of what’s possible and giving my projects a creative edge.
AppleByte Art isn’t just about making things look pretty (though I do love a good aesthetic); it’s about ensuring that every website I design is a seamless experience for users. I specialize in enhancing usability, accessibility, and of course, that wow factor that keeps people coming back for more. My goal? To make sure your site doesn’t just look good, but works effortlessly, no matter where it’s being viewed.
And it’s not just websites I’m all about. I’ve spent years supporting the WordPress community, and as a huge fan, I’m sharing my knowledge with the world. From free PSDs to WordPress templates and table-less designs, I’ve got something for everyone. I’m all about making web design accessible—whether you’re a small business, a fellow designer, or someone who just loves a good template.
At AppleByte Art, I’m passionate about combining creativity and technology to help businesses stand out online, all while keeping things affordable and fun. So, whether you’re looking to jazz up your website, need a custom design, or just want to add a little sparkle to your digital presence, I’m here to make it happen. Creativity, tech, and a whole lot of good vibes—that’s what I’m all about.
After All This Year Applebyte still thirst for knowledge
I’m still honing my web designer, ui/ux designer, html, jquery, flash and php programming skills. Since I started learning web authoring thru self-education, reading news articles in Smashing Magazine, Engadget, Gigacom, TechCrunch, Tuts+ and others. While feeding my artistic flare in Bored Panda, Mashable, ZergNet and others. I also love reading Thought Catalog, Nerdist, GeekareSexy, SideProject and etc.
I would like to give the credit to my husband who has never failed to push my limits to it’s fullest, supporting me financially and emotionally.
