My very first website was built in 1999, in my attic room, on a Windows 3.11 computer with MS FrontPage installed. Since I wasn’t connected to the internet, the things I could do on this Compaq Prolinea 486 with an Intel 486DX processor running at 33MHz (1 core) were limited. That’s how I started experimenting with websites—even though I couldn’t publish them online. Around that time, the internet was slowly starting to appear, but nothing like what we know today.

By 2002, things began to change. Schools had internet access, and eventually, we got a connection at home—yes, even in my room. That’s when I picked up web development again, this time with the ability to publish sites online. I secretly registered my first domain name, and not long after, the invoice arrived at home. My father was furious, and the domain was canceled. Back in 2002, domain names were still relatively expensive. Even though the invoice amount wasn’t huge, every guilder counted at that time. I continued building sites in custom HTML—back then still without CSS—hosted for free with a .TK domain, which started gaining popularity around 2005.

In 2008, I started my first ICT education. After that, I began working with CMS platforms. Between 2009 and 2013, I mainly used Joomla to build websites. I started with Joomla version 1.0, which was released around 2009. Everyone at school was talking about it and eager to try it out. I stopped using Joomla after version 1.7, which must have been around 2013. From 2013 to 2016, I didn’t do much with websites.

In 2016, I started working as a web developer. I began building websites in HTML/CSS on a custom CMS (closed source), and gradually added more styling and layout through CSS. It reignited my passion for web development, so I immediately registered a domain name and got hosting. I believe I started off again with Joomla 3.5, which had a completely redesigned interface. But I soon began exploring other CMS options and came across WordPress.

I already knew WordPress from back in 2009, but at that time, it was primarily a simple blogging platform—not really suited for building full-fledged websites with webshops or advanced modules. But from 2016 onward, I stuck with WordPress. Even though I often experiment with other CMS platforms, WordPress has remained my go-to choice. The support, the contributor community, the flexibility—it’s all unmatched. With the rise of AI, combined with the technical knowledge I’ve built up over the years, it’s now even more fun to develop complete themes, plugins, and keep improving them.
