Last position:
Fullstack Developer at PLANT-MY-TREE
PLANT-MY-TREE®-per-order
The application enables Shopify merchants to automatically place tree-planting orders for every incoming order. By integrating ecological contributions directly into the purchase process, the manual effort for tracking and billing reforestation initiatives is eliminated. The system increases transparency for end customers through real-time visualizations of the ecological impact directly in the storefront. The architecture is based on a modular monolith with Spring Boot in the backend and an integrated React app inside the Shopify admin area. The solution uses webhooks to capture order data in an event-driven way and integrates the weclapp ERP system for automated monthly invoicing. An app proxy mechanism provides dynamic statistics such as CO2 compensation and planted trees without any performance loss for the merchant shop.
Tasks:
- Design of the modular software architecture based on Spring Modulith to ensure high maintainability
- Development of the event-driven business logic for evaluating Shopify orders via webhooks
- Implementation of automated invoicing by connecting the weclapp REST API
- Building the frontend using React Router and Shopify App Bridge for native integration
- Design of the database model and implementation of the persistence layer with JPA/Hibernate and Prisma

About the technology
Markup basics
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the structure behind every web page. It defines headings, text, links, forms, images, and semantic page sections. Strong HTML work keeps content clear for users, browsers, and search engines.
Typical work
- Building page layouts and content structures
- Creating forms, navigation, and reusable components
- Marking up emails, landing pages, and CMS templates
- Applying semantic tags for accessibility and SEO
Tooling and standards
Good HTML specialists work with editor tooling, browser dev tools, validation, and templating systems. They know how HTML5 elements, forms, metadata, and ARIA fit together without overcomplicating the page. Clean code matters more than clever code.
When to bring in help
Companies usually bring in freelance HTML experts when a site needs a redesign, a content-heavy template, or a fast front-end fix. They are also useful when teams need better accessibility, cleaner markup, or consistent email rendering. In Cologne, this often fits agencies, commerce teams, and marketing projects that need reliable delivery.
What strong experts deliver
A strong HTML professional writes semantic, maintainable markup that fits the design system and works across browsers. They spot broken structure, nested mistakes, missing labels, and weak accessibility patterns early. They also hand off code that fits CSS and JavaScript cleanly.
Working well together
For freelance work, clear content, design files, and browser expectations save time. Remote collaboration is common, but on-site work in Cologne can help when teams need quick reviews or direct coordination with designers and content owners. The best results come from precise specs and fast feedback.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around HTML.
A strong HTML specialist builds the structure of web pages, email templates, landing pages, and CMS content blocks. They make sure headings, links, forms, and media are marked up in a way that is clear to browsers and easy for other specialists to style or script.
HTML is the core markup language, while HTML5 refers to the modern living standard and the set of elements and features most teams use today. In practice, companies often say HTML when they mean current HTML5 markup, semantic elements, and modern browser behavior.
HTML defines structure, CSS handles presentation, and JavaScript adds behavior. A good freelancer knows where HTML should stop and where the other two should take over, so the page stays maintainable and accessible.
A good HTML professional usually works comfortably with CSS, JavaScript, accessibility basics, SEO-friendly semantics, and common CMS or templating systems. For many projects, email markup knowledge and cross-browser testing are also important.
Simple content updates may only need a specialist who is strong in clean markup and browser compatibility. Larger redesigns, design-system work, or accessibility-sensitive pages need someone who understands semantics, forms, and integration with the rest of the front end.
For HTML work, remote collaboration is usually enough when the specialist has good design files, content, and review access. On-site support in Cologne can help when teams need fast iterations with designers, editors, or stakeholders, especially on time-sensitive launches.
Look for semantic structure, correct heading order, accessible forms, and clean use of attributes like labels and alt text in HTML. Strong work is easy to read, easy to maintain, and easy for the rest of the front-end stack to build on.
If pages are hard to edit, content looks inconsistent, forms behave poorly, or accessibility reviews keep finding the same issues, HTML support is usually needed. Another sign is when designers and content teams keep waiting on markup fixes before a release can move forward.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Cologne, Germany who have used HTML in their recent projects is 102 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 819 € based on an 8-hour working day.
