Your first website vs your latest

Who still has a copy/screenshot of their first website?

I haven't got one of my first but the wayback machine has a (partial) copy of one of my earliest.

that archive site is awesome

This is actually my second site - my first was some awful black abominination on geocities sometime in late 1998. This was a site about reviewing every car in Gran Turismo. It took *ages* to go through them all, and then write the static HTML page for each. No CSS. No database. No clue

According to webarchive it stood like this until 2003 :eek:

*edit* Just noticed - i did this almost ten years ago to the day.

My latest is this, which is the site for the company I work for. Fully CMS'd, CSS'd, SEO'd and AJAX'd in places

Very nice. Did you do the graphical work as well?

GravyMonster · 27 Jul 2009 at 16:06

Some of it. We have a few designers who come up with the palettes and treatments etc, and I amend them if needed to make the UI work better for visitors.

I can't take any credit for the vector work in the background though

Vector work is tasty

I just made my very first site yesterday! Click in my sig and tell me what you think. I'm still working on it and not sure where I want to go with it. It was a free jobby but as soon as I get some capital I'm thinking about going ad free, and widening the margins a bit. Do you think going through a company like this is worth 50 USD per year? I'm so new to making sites I just was playing around yesterday when I made this.

Woah... no way! Here's a site I did as a 13-year-old:

Uncanny.

Loved that game.

Anyway, this is my very first site. I was nine, it was about my pet rabbits, and it's still online

My current personal site:

Not flashy, but I'm fond of it.

Too embarrased to put mine up!

Russinating · 28 Jul 2009 at 12:55

Can't find mine - it was a GTA cheat/tips site that I made on AOL pages when I was about 12. Anyone know the URL of old AOL members pages so I can try and Webarchive it?

Wow, this is one I did when I was about 14 which was a SOF2 & Mafia multilayer clan. Unfortunately they never did a multilayer so for Mafia so it didn't last long, but it got me interested in web development. Has flash and everything

This is one I did a couple of months ago for a client.
