You Can Have Your Own Website!

I love having my own websites. They're fun to create and an easy way to contact folks all over the world. It's an enjoyable puzzle to work out what to put on a new website. The images, text, links, videos, the fonts, layouts, and colours, the design look and feel... It's a bit like making a painting or sculpture, with the same joy of expressing ideas with a new creation.

“Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries.” - Neville Brody

Then there is the technical challenge. Puzzling out how to make sure the website works technically – the buttons go to the right places on the internet, the forms work, the images are the right size, the website looks good on computers, phones, and tablets, Mac and PC, different browsers etc, etc... This all helps keep my brain youthful and active and is like the giant jigsaw puzzles I used to do on my parents dining table when I was a kid.

“Websites promote you 24/7” - Paul Cookson

I love visiting websites and particularly enjoy websites that function well – that are easy to use, have plenty of links and options for me to choose from, and that are easy to read and navigate. I like to make sure my websites function well too, although I tend to end up spending so much time enjoying other people's websites I run out of time to tend to my own! Ooops! I better stop chatting now and do some updating...

Here is an example of an old free website I set up back in 2012 that needs some updating... but it still functions, so one day, when I find the time, it'll be updated.
It's had no marketing what-so-ever, but it does what I wanted it to, and I get regular contact from visitors all over the world (natural SEO).
