About

Dhaka, Bangladesh Local time ––:––

I’m Saalim, a front-end developer in Dhaka. I like websites with a point of view: big type, motion that explains something, and details you only notice the second time.

What I like building

Sites where the content is the show. Most of what I’ve built so far is for restaurants: menus you can actually search, branch finders, table reservations, and a couple that switch between English and Bangla.

How I work

Layout and type come first, and the page has to read well with every animation switched off. Motion goes in last, where it shows what changed or where to look. Then I test it on a phone before I call it done.

Tools

Listed from what my live projects run on. I pick the tool for the site, not the other way round.

Frameworks
Next.js, React, Vite, Plain HTML & JavaScript
Styling
Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, Hand-written CSS
Motion
Motion, Lenis, Atelier UI, CSS animation
