I wanted to keep this website true to me, a website that i could show to my family/friends and have them instantly recognise that i made it. This website is the manifestation of my personality.
Why keep this arguably outdated aesthitic? Because the old internet was about freedom and expression! sure the decoration choices might be overstimulating and busy but thats the point! Back when the web was for you and yourself only, no appealing to the masses with a uniform aesthitc. Not every thing you see was a ploy to get you to buy something or subscribe. Just pure self expression.
While prototyping this website i spent alot of time on neocities and the way-back machine browsing old websites and old web inspired websites. I wanted to keep the design and layout of my website true to authentic y2k webpages, this includes a lot of subsections that are a staple of y2k personal websites. Shrines , image archives and gaming log are a few features.
That being said this website is for myself before anyone else,to document my intrests and improve my web-dev skill! I hope you enjoy browsing!
