Company website is live
This past 2 weeks, I tried to update my company website. So it looks more professional. Previous design was only my logo, company name, address, email, vat and company number.
The new website looks better in my opinion, the logo has also changed.
So I build it with Angular 22 and used TailwindCSS, the backend is just plain express, but it is hosted on Netlify, so using express is a little bit overkill, as it will be used as netlify-function.
The only interactive part is the contact page, you can send a message. Writing the code, is done manually, no AI used. The logo and colors are also done by my brother. The pictures are AI generated, the text are originally generated by AI, but then I changed it a little. So you can see the same kind of text on other company websites as well.
During development, I wanted to add extra pages like services, projects,... but I didn't had content for those pages yet. And didn't wanted to generate example page, so I removed them. I'll add them, back once I've decided what to put inside those pages.
However, I did make it mobile-first.
It's a really basic website, why did it take 2 weeks?
I didn't worked hours per day on the site. When I started, that day I just created the main stylelless version, added routing, think about what to add, what to remove. Then looked several times to other company websites to have an idea what to build. Started coding for 1 hour with a lot of distraction. Then didn't looked at it for 3 days, then coded for another 3 hours with distraction, ...
I'm also not a designer, so I do care that it should be nice, but I don't have a strong opinion as a UI/UX designer. So I also spend a lot of time experimenting with different TailwindCSS classes.
During those 2 weeks, I was also thinking about being more available on social media, as previously explained, I don't have a LinkedIn account. (little sidestory, I tried to recreate LinkedIn account, but after you update your profile, spend some hours RE-adding all your work experiences, skills, RE-adding your contacts, ..., this F***ing company force you to identify yourself with official documents, which pissed me of again, so I stopped doing it again). So I decided to use the most privacy friendly company there is Meta, with Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook. I already have an account on those 3, but I didn't used them for more then years, so I picked them out of the dust, and now I will post "work" stuff on them, to become more socially available.
I will also update this blog and make the tags clickable, and add my social accounts next to the rss icon in the footer of the page.
I also published my first post on those platforms :). Asked AI to give me an ffmpeg script to animate my company logo, make it "reel"-ready, and put that video on all of those platforms.
Kind regards
