Well, it only
took me 2 years
to design a site
that I liked for
z-toc.com. Then,
just a few
months later,
the flash
service I was
using for the
website stopped
all services due
to the economy.
Before I had the
nifty flash
website (at the
right), this
website was just
a few projects
of mine thrown
together online.
The main part of
the website
sat blank for
about 2 years
until one
morning shower
changed
everything.
Isn't that where
everyone's great
ideas come from?
No? Ok.... This
whole website is
100% made by me,
no templates
were harmed
during the
making on this
site. They sat
dustily in the
corner.
I don't think I
could ever use a
template for a
website that I
want to
represent my
work. Website
templates aren't
my thing... Well
your probably
wondering why I
used a template
for my blogs
then! Didn't
really have a
choice there.
And all the
graphical
content (logo,
background,
etc.) are all
mine.
After I had to
give up my flash
website, I
created a basic
HTML version of
the website in a
format that I
thought would
benefit myself
and make it
easier to keep
up to date (seen
at the left). It
actually proved
to be a pain
because I could
not edit it on
the go. I had to
be at home to
even put
something new on
it. The flash
site had the
capability of
allowing me to
edit it from
multiple
locations.
A few months
after that site
proved to be a
pain in the
butt, I created
a nice, fresh
look to the site
seen to the
right. I liked
the bluish look
it had and gave
the website.
After over a
year with that
site design, I
had to update
it. I
designed
something that I
liked and
started to work
on it. After a
few weeks, I
gave up and
didn't start
working on it
again for a few
months. Finally,
I had a break in
my school work
and f inished
the fourth
version of this
site, shown
below. The day
before version 4
was set to
launch, I found
a website that I
really liked and
used elements of
it to create a
brand new look
for this
website. I
decided to set
the goal of
creating that
site over my
winter break,
but I was
slacking a lot
this year. My
deadline was
January 1st and
this site was
released January
10th. 10 days
off isn't too
bad in my book.
So I think that
this is the part
where I say, if
you like what
you see here,
don't hesitate
to use the
contact form on
the contact
page. You can
use the "Call
Me!" button and
give my cell a
ring and I will
try to call you
back as soon as
I can. You can
also shoot me an
email at the
address I
provided. Stick
around!!
