i love making websites
someone asked me recently if i would ever consider a different career. i surprised myself by saying "actually, no1. i love computers 🤓!" sometimes i forget that some people in the industry are only here for the $$ and perks 🪄. and if they had the choice, they would never look at a computer ever again.
my love for computers really started with making little websites (using angelfire & neopets ofc.) imo little websites are the best types of projects.
ok, elizabeth, but what's the difference between a little website and a "website"?
omg i'm so glad you asked! a little website has to feel like it's made with love 💖. it's usually not an app, something that "solves a problem for someone else" or something that can be sold. they're usually completed in a day or two and the only person that needs to approve it is me!
recently, i've discovered that the trick to getting myself out of a creative rut is to make a little website. i've made a few over the last year:
designing interfaces for connection showcase
this is technically for something else, but no one else was approving it, but me, so i think it counts 🥰. you can check it out here.
a secret website i made for an interview
idk why i did this, but i was feeling extra and decided to make a website for this interview i had. they requested that i showcase 3-5 slides, but instead of using google slides or figma slides or keynote like everyone else, i decided to "prove myself" but making my own website.
it's hard to see, but yes, there are sparkles on the thumbnails.
the new website for my prototyping course!
ok, this also barely is a little website because it's something i will use to make money, but i loved making it so much it counts 😊
the aesthetic quiz!
i had so much fun making this one 🥺. i will definitely be making more little website quizzes in the future.
that's all~ i love a little website and will definitely be making more in the future 🥰.
yes, i have considered the universe of fashion, but i've decided that it's not the best career choice for me. every time i'm in the fashion world, i feel uncomfortable. there's a lot more artificial energy there 😭. alsoooo, a career to me is something you do to make money. fashion to me is something that i want to preserve as a hobby and interest.↩
