Have you got your first designed site, graphic, logo???

[minstrel]

I can't even let you see most of my recent stuff :(

Translation: I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

for me it was my Rugby club in college at the university of houston.
Sadly no one has rebuilt their site or even worked on it for a while now.
I turned the keys over to a fellow member when I left.

This is the first site I ever built for someone else:
www.uh.edu/~rfc

I did not design the EMASS logo, that had been created in approximately 1990.

This was the first website for the company (unless you count the 2 years of the animated "under construction" gif that preceded this website).

Ooooh. First design paid for - 1994. A logo -

This little black and white thing got me a job as a marketing director and lead me on the path I'm on today! Hopefully I'm better now (portfolio at www.doubleplus.com).

My first paid site is archived on some CD somewhere in my stacks. It was www.abchealth.com. It was okay for 1995, but the client decided his teenage son could do a better job. He put an "under construction" message up and never did a thing. Some squatter has the domain now. :(

It's probably for the best, but The WayBack Machine doesn't even have my first site. I'll be honest and say it was positively atrocious, though.

Lots of graphics I took from other websites (before I realized that was stealing). Waaaay too many really huge graphics and too many of 'em on too many pages. (Guess that's why it's such a pet peeve of mine now. lol!) Some pages (read that "most") were nothing but a collection of links to other websites.

Oh, and I didn't even know what "ALT" tags were, let alone why they were important! Tested in other browsers? Oh, heck no! I put it together using Netscape Composer, and was terribly proud of it. Never even looked at it IE. LOL!

Every single page looked different and the navigation was minimal at best. The "Back" button was your best option for finding your way around the site.

It was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFL!!!!!!!!!

And you want me to try to dig up a copy of it I saved somewhere???? What are you high?????

I'll see what I can do...... ;)

Okay... this is the earliest one that I can still find on the web...

http://www.geocities.com/bdenosky/Christ1

Created June 1999 at the height of the browser wars.

Wish I could still have my first one for sentimental value. It was a big 5mb one page site in 1996. I didn't have a graphics program and didn't know I needed to change image sizes, so all of my images were controlled with height and width. Oh yeah... it was a monster. I was learning by view source. Good times :-)

[mysticlighthouse]

Oh yeah... please try to not laugh too hard at the bio section pictures... thanks. ;-)

Plus anything with frames will only work in version 4 browsers... view the source and you'll see why (frames declared outside of the body tag)

My very first website is long gone now. But I do have a copy of my first all Flash website (it's still live and unchanged after about 5 years, but don't blame me! :-) ) and my first Flash presentation built for the web which was also my first attempt at using Flash at all.

website: http://www.capitalvacation.biz/home.html

presentation:http://www.holmcomputing.com/cmc/CapPresents.html

first Flash intro:http://www.holmcomputing.com/ccintro.html

first html site:http://www.holmcomputing.com/cmc/home.htm
This site includes the first two years of changes, but it mostly is in a color scheme change (maroon to blue) and added content (which doesn't all work anymore) Thanks to the way back machine post below, here's a link to what it looked like when I first put it up: http://web.archive.org/web/200106041...m/cmc/home.htm

I am still using my original design. The site has not changed since the day it was first commissioned in November 2001.

I am sure I would have changed it by now if some specific questions could have been answered. Never got those answers.

I am fairly satisfied with the site design and content, but remember. it's from a fathers point of view.

Any constructive advice would be warmly welcome.

Regards,

BB
