Where this started

My first webpage, and the one you are on.

Both of these are mine. The first is the first thing I ever put on the internet; the second is this site. Everything in between was learning the difference.

The first webpage I built: a sports car page in red on black, with a flame-bracketed title and bracketed text links.
V1 · 2023 — the first page I built Every tag I had just learned, all used at once.
This site's homepage: the headline reading Your business deserves better than a template, above a code editor showing the stylesheet.
V5 · today — this site Hand-coded, the same way yours would be.

Five versions

Three years. Five versions.

Everything I have built, oldest first — bad ones included. Each one better than the last, and each one quicker to build.

  1. Version one: a sports car page in red on black, with a flame-bracketed title, cyan bracketed links and a dashed red border.
    V1 · 2023

    My first webpage

    Straight out of learning HTML and CSS. Built to see if I could — and that was the whole point.

    A side hustle of my own

    My second build, and my first lines of JavaScript. Still no AI, still no design training — it worked, it just was not pretty.

    BUILDWEB, first attempt

    My first time coding with AI. Everything worked, nothing looked like mine — textbook vibe-coded, and I am not going to pretend otherwise.

    This site

    Parallax I actually understand, a design system of my own, and nothing on screen a template picked for me. Also the quickest build of the five.
