Websites

In the ten years I’ve spent working on the web I’ve been involved in the development of the odd website here and there. Here are a few of the ones I’ve had a more personal involvement in.

The Early Years

Back in 1996 Mudhole / Spodbox: I set up my first website on Mudhole which later moved to Spodbox. I’d not come up with the impworks back then but if I had this would have been impworks 0.1 beta through impworks 0.5 or something similar.

Back in 1997 I made a website for Dan Newport’s entry in an architecture competition. Back then white text on a black background was what all the cool kids did to make their web sites look stylish.

In 1997 and 1998 I was working on the Internet Express, a project that took twenty computers and the Internet around libraries in Merseyside. I demonstrated on a course about making web pages. With only a few hours to cram everything into we couldn’t teach everything so I created my WWW Authoring by Examples website to expand on the course.

Bifrost

I’ve been the webmaster for the official website for the SFSFW’s annual event since it first had a website back in the dim and distant past.

impworks

The impworks website has been through two phases so far (with a huge abandonments in the middle when I didn’t find time to work on it).

After a version which was little more than a holding page I built a new site using php and smarty. Eventually, when free open source content management systems, matured I decided the time had come to move to WordPress and the result is this site impworks 2.0
