Astro.js Freelancer: Jere Huttunen

Astro.js is my latest addition to my Jamstack tools, and I love it. I have 4 years of experience with Jamstack, and Astro.js might be the most powerful Jamstack tool I have seen so far.

I do Astro.js freelancing through my own company, Vaihe. I provide development worldwide.

The team at Vaihe Media seamlessly adapted to our workflow, allowing for a smooth and collaborative experience. Jere (Founder at Vaihe) in particular is very reliable and an absolute pleasure to work with. We've worked with several developers, but Vaihe is one of the select few partners that actually delivers quality results in a timely manner. It's not easy finding good JAMstack developers nowadays, and their ability to offer solutions, especially in time-critical situations, has been impressive.

Vaihe Media has been a joy to work with on our projects. We wanted clean, high-performance code that fits within a scalable and secure architecture and were struggling to find a development company that shared our vision, until we started working with Vaihe. Their methodology is brilliant and we trust them to work autonomously on our projects. We truly appreciate their ability to grasp our business problems and work on solutions.

Vaihe Media is amazing. We've contracted the company for a very last-minute (and expectedly urgent) project, and Jere (Founder at Vaihe) was a rock-star. What I really appreciated is how our project was treated not simply as a one-off job, but I could tell how a lot of thought and planning went into every single step along the way. Jere provided some extremely valuable advice on how to approach our challenges, was very technical and delivered everything in the agreed timeframe. In the end - the project was a massive success on all fronts.

One of the qualities that I feel is a must have for any agency is responsiveness and I'm happy to say that Vaihe Media and Jere are always there when I need them. Jere answers my questions without delay, and is always transparent when there is more research needed — that is very much appreciated and gives me confidence that I found the perfect partner! I am happy to recommend Jere and Vaihe Media to anybody looking to fulfill any web development work, and I will be using them in the future no doubt!

The website Vaihe Media developed for us is an absolute masterpiece, with eye-catching animations and interactive elements that really captivate our visitors. Not only is the website aesthetically pleasing, and makes navigating our product pages a fun experience, but they also made it incredibly easy for the team to work in maintaining and growing it.

Working with Vaihe was a pleasure from start to finish. From the beginning of the project, Jere (founder at Vaihe) showed a remarkable level of professionalism and passion for his craft. He took the time to understand our company’s vision and goals, and his ability to translate our ideas into a fully functional website was remarkable.

Throughout the development process, Jere demonstrated exemplary communication skills, keeping us informed at all times and enthusiastically incorporating our feedback. He was incredibly responsive to our ideas and also offered valuable suggestions to improve the customization and maintenance of our website, helping to make it accessible even for team members who are not familiar with coding themselves, which really demonstrated his expertise in the field.

I cannot recommend Vaihe highly enough for anyone looking to create a top-notch website that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. We are very grateful for their contribution to the success of our company and look forward to keep collaborating with them.”
