Website design has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I made my very first website when I was eleven years old. I remember being so excited when I first started learning HTML and even moreso when I started retaining what I had learnt and could create pages off the top of my head. I printed out HTML cheat-sheets and used to carry them around with me.
As I said, I was eleven when I made my first website. It was Pokemon related, hosted with Angelfire, and consisted of a single page - with many animated GIFs and a lot of blinking text. It was the kind of website that if someone stared at it for too long, they would begin to feel sick. Moving on from Angelfire, I found GeoCities and made my second website - a site dedicated to myself, my family and my friends. I'd moved on from only having a single page and ventured into Frames and JavaScript.
Without creating a new hosting account, my personal website turned into The White Ferret - an online role-playing community - which can now be found at thewhiteferret(dot)com. TWF has taught me a lot about both website design and development and with each new version I create of it - it becomes so much bigger than I ever thought it would. The site has now been running for five years.
I have created many websites over the years, including a lot of fansites and a lot of designs that I have never used. I taught myself Tables, Forms, Frames, JavaScript, CSS and PHP. Venturing off into script installation and modification - I created multiple online diaries for myself and for other people - using mainly CuteNews and WordPress. I reached a point where I'd offer to make websites for people - even if they didn't really need one or particularly want one. I guess you could say that I am still like that.
Having spent three years learning formally, with a Certificate II and III in Multimedia and Diploma in Information Technology, website design and development is something that I love to do. It is something that I enjoy to a large extent and something that I think I will never get sick of doing. To be able to create something from nothing and to be able to show it to the world. To put it bluntly, it's what I do and I love it.
