I’m a eighteen-year-old who has fallen in love with an art known as web design. It began as a simple hobby, as I discovered the need to personalize my profile page on a social networking website. I desired to stand out among all my twelve-year-old friends, and learning HTML was the path many of us chose.
Unlike the majority of my peers, however, I took away something more from the site. My page became a sandbox for me to try new color schemes, techniques, and evil JavaScript that often was the cause of browser crashes. And as hideous-looking my site was, it was what pushed me into the amazing world of web design.
It didn’t happen overnight, but I gradually grew out of creating those JavaScript-infested pages with clashing colors and microscopic text. By the time I entered high school, I found myself creating cleaner, more professional designs, and—get this: people started coming to me asking for help designing websites.
And so, Zekkou was born in December 2005. Why don’t you take a look at some of the work I’ve done? I’ve reduced the risk of a seizure from visiting my webpages by approximately 98.2 percent since I first ventured into web design.
They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, so take a look at some of the work I’ve done in the past for various organizations and individuals. I know that I still have plenty of room to improve, but no worries—I’m still learning and discovering new things every day.
