No way you don't really think that do you? ;) I couldn't imagine that.



Also did you guys read the bottom of my page. "How about an AMD 550mhz system complete with monitor for under $500.00?" That was considered a cheap system back then. Thats too funny.

Digging out the artwork... Oh there it is... Masterpeace first logo!


My first web site is not around any more, but my second attempt was for my kids school and that is still running. www.stjoespemberton.wa.edu.au

They update it a bit themselves now (I gave them my old copy of Dreamweaver 2 when I bought V4) but it hasn't changed much in three years...

Yes, some of these "first' websites are better than I could do now. How about a disclaimer like computer and web experience to that point?
Isn't this to show 'newbie's' where we come from, how far we've come, that we all started out as very poor skillwise?
What about it, matauri? Is this an exercise in helping newcomers?
Did you mean "First" website, or first "Professional" website? I like the confidence of people who are not shy about how they used to be!

I want to see some hilarious first attempts! I know that when I put my FIRST site up, I was sure that I'd be rich in no time, that flash, photoshop, etc where going to be a matter of 2 -3 days practice, and within 5 or 6 weeks I was goin' 'Pro'! In three months, I'd be rich!! So, cmon!

Now ( I haven't done my first full fledged 'pro' contract yet, just one for a friend who's starting a business)http://factor1.net/

To Steve : I know, those prices were bizarre, basically you get 2.5 GHz and Dual DDR for those 'top of the line' prices now, 18 - 24 mo. later.

Can I have your old copy of v4 when you buy v5? :-)

Sadly the first ever site I built has long gone and is not held at the Way back machine, either. This one was built the same year, though, and has long since disappeared from the web...thankfully!

...and by "hilarious", Mik means "with ale"...

I think my first attempt was made with NotePad, had everything you'll now find in "Design Peeves", and was just plain hideous - after a couple of disk crashes and a few changes of residence, that doesn't exist anywhere any more.

My second was made with the original freeware HomePage program, a very basic editor written by a cartoonist before he sold it to Allaire (?) who made it huge and expensive. That site eventually was transformed into my current one and the original domain name hijacked by a porn site.

My third also doesn't exist, as far as I know - it wasn't as ugly as the first two although I can't recall a lot about it except that it was created using MS Publisher... it was my first attempt at making a small site for someone else advertising a service I didn't really understand and I have no idea whether it helped her at all in her business. For one thing, I didn't know anything at all about promoting a site in those days.

I know it has been a while since I have posted to this forum but, this time I just could not refuse.

Wow, looking back on what I did the first time is strange. Although it is good to look at it from time to time, to remind me where I started at.

This is my first site that was hand coded well single page really.

This beauty is my first site done with a WYSIWYG program.

This was my first logo that I actually recived payment for.

Now go pull out those real skeletons everyone.
