Hi there, yes I used AI to help build this website. I personally don’t have the time nor the talent to build something like this from scratch! I do have knowledge in how historical…

Thanks! I am definitely not a front-end web designer lol, and I for sure don't want to limit people's access. I will look into the standards and see how best to implement them into…
