This is the first design I wrote without using a design program. It's written by hand in Notepad— a text editor. To see what hand-coding looks like, "right click" (Mac-users: "click and hold") here and select "view source."
This design was written during the fall of 2001. The graphics are underwhelming because I focused more on learning other skills. It's the first time I used SSI to create templates, and I started experimenting with CSS.
Written during the summer and fall of 2002, version 5 uses CSS for page layout instead of tables.
You are currently in version 6, so there's no link to go anywhere — you're here. Version 6 uses PHP for the template system instead of SSI; and CSS is used as much as possible to separate style from structure (HTML for structure, CSS for style).

This is my first so-called "web design," and I wrote it the day I registered my first domain name in June, 2000. I knew nothing about writing web pages at the time and it shows. Actually, the only thing I knew about computers in general was where the power switch is.
This design was created during most of 2002. It's for a site that focuses on Cajun Dance in Atlanta. Page layout uses a small assortment of nested tables, graphics are basic, and the emphasis is on content. It uses a few Perl scripts for the poll, email form, and guestbook. I call it my first "real" website.
