Welcome to my website, a place where creativity, technology, and innovation come together. I’m Ernst Renner, an Austrian-born musician who found his calling in the world of programming, web design, and digital solutions. Now, based in Vancouver, Canada, my journey has evolved from music and teaching to web development, and today, I thrive as a programmer and entrepreneur. I believe that life is a continuous journey of learning, and I’m passionate about embracing every twist and turn along the way.
Transitioning to Tech: A New Passion
In pursuit of expanding my skills and exploring the ever-evolving world of tech, I moved to Vancouver. It was here that my journey took a new direction. After completing the Computer Assisted Design Technology Specialist program at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology), I dove headfirst into the world of web design. It was the perfect fusion of my artistic background and growing technical expertise.
For several years, I worked in web design while also holding a full-time job. During this time, I honed my skills in WordPress development, learning how to create visually appealing, user-friendly websites that are both functional and SEO-optimized. I also developed a strong foundation in PHP programming, which opened up new doors for me as a developer.
Prolific Web Design: Crafting Digital Experiences
In July of 2020, I founded Prolific Web Design, a digital agency specializing in crafting bespoke websites for startups and local businesses in British Columbia and Alberta. My company focuses on creating professional, mobile-ready websites that drive results. Whether it’s a simple portfolio site or a complex e-commerce platform, I take pride in delivering web solutions that elevate brands and help businesses grow online.
Through Prolific Web Design, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, tailoring each website to reflect their unique vision and goals. My approach blends strong design principles with solid programming foundations, ensuring that every website is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fast, secure, and SEO-friendly.
The Developer Within
As much as I’ve enjoyed designing and building websites, my passion for programming has only deepened over time. These days, I spend most of my free time writing Python code and building custom WordPress plugins. I’ve found that developing solutions from the ground up—whether through custom PHP frameworks or building tools to streamline workflows—excites me in ways that constantly push me to learn more.
From building music education apps for iTunes and Google Play to now working full-time in web development, I can confidently say that my journey has been one of growth, creativity, and endless learning.
What’s Next?
Now, as a full-time web designer and programmer, I’m more excited than ever about the future. I continue to work on exciting new projects, developing custom plugins for WordPress, experimenting with PHP, and diving deeper into Python. I also keep up with the latest trends in web design and development to ensure that my skills remain sharp and that I stay ahead of the curve in an industry that is constantly changing.
