Building a Personal Website

In an age of algorithmic feeds and platform lock-in, there’s something deeply satisfying about having your own corner of the internet.

Why Build Your Own Site?

Building a personal website is an act of digital autonomy. It’s about reclaiming ownership of your online presence and expressing yourself on your own terms.

The Philosophy of Minimalism

Minimalism in web design isn’t about removing everything until nothing remains. It’s about removing everything that doesn’t serve a purpose, until only the essential remains.

Getting Started

If you’re thinking about building your own site, start simple. Create a single HTML file with a brief introduction. Add some basic styling. Put it online. Then iterate.

This website is always going to be work in progress for me.
