Why did you start making sites?

I first made my site using Googlepages. I had a lot of shit to sell so I thought it would be good idea. It was really shitty. So I learned HTML. And then CSS, etc etc. And now I got into the addiction of making really nice looking sites. (though I can't lol)

What's your story?

Well, when Pokemon Emerald came out that, i guess, made me wanna make a site. So I signed up at Freewebs and then moved off of that to my uncles hosting service, then to another friends. Then I just started going crazy learning PHP. Now I run a Web Hosting Company and make money for making scripts.

I start making sites bcoz I found an excellent forum in spanish, and I was very active, so I decide to create my own forum.. but I failed (XD) so now im all the time at Whooked.. and thats my story.

Well, i heard you could make money off it =P

Yes that's true. Sites can be a good source of revenue. But don't make sites for money. Or else you'll fail. Make it for fun and money will come along with it.

I started sites in free hosts. First i just done some personal websites for myself to show to me friends and all . I done all those with simple HTML. Then i stepped into to Forums & Communities. I learned Bulletin Board , CMS , some php Scripts.

My Dad wanted one for his business - so I had some HTML experience but developed my CSS and some PHP knowledge from this.

I guess then its not your first site. Since you already had HTML experience. That means you must have made an "okay" site before to test your skills or to help you learn HTML. lol

First I learnt very basic HTML at school and got interested and then my friend told me about Freewebs. I then moved on to Bravenet. Learnt more HTML. Found other hosts and thought I would play around and stumbled upon PHP and CSS. I have moved on to do advanced freelance work and am now making a PHP script with great features.

Will move on to setup companies. Once script is done will move onto Hosting and Web Design.

So that is my story.
