Next stop CSS. Try to make a web site using only HTML and CSS, without Bootstrap or JQuery. The trick is to use as much HTML semantics as possible, make the site readable using just HTML, then do all the styling in the CSS stylesheet. And add classes to the HTML elements if needed.

This website is way better than my first attempt back in the day. Keep it on ! Nevertheless, maybe the public dislosure of your phone numbers is not necessary.

Me too, but I wrote my first site when HTML 2.0 was standard so I have an excuse.

From a technical standpoint, it's a website created using bootstrap and some inline CSS. The carousel works, and that's not trivial to achieve as a neophyte. There is a footer with an easter egg (small text).

Home pages were very common back in the 90s and these days are out of fashion mostly due to blogs and social networks.

That's why making a home page these days is even more important, in order to contribute to a more decentralized Internet. So good job keeping the flame alive.

My first website was built with FrontPage[0].

I will recommend you to try it out after I figured out how to time travel :)

I used Frontpage, and Frontpage Extensions on the server side. I used HoTMetaL, Dreamweaver, and a few other WYSIWYG editors too. They were good, but nothing quite beat Notepad (or BBEdit if you were on a Mac). I remember Adobe Pagemill was really handy for doing the same changes across hundreds of files too.

As fun as it was then I don't want to go back.
