I Just Wanted to Make Cute Web Pages

I didn't get into coding because I wanted to become a programmer.

I just wanted to make cute web pages.

Back in 2017, I started getting interested in IT. At the time, I wasn't thinking about frameworks, architecture, or all the things developers talk about today.

I just had this little idea in my head: What if I could make a web page that looked exactly the way I wanted?

I wanted to choose the colors, arrange the elements, play with the design, and make something that felt like mine.

So I started experimenting.

I was still learning, and there was a lot I didn't understand. But honestly, that was part of the fun. Every small change made the page feel a little more like what I had imagined.

Over time, something changed.

Coding became more than a way to make web pages. It became a way to express myself.

I think that's still how I see it today.

A few lines of HTML, some CSS, and a little JavaScript can become something personal. It doesn't have to be complicated or impressive. Sometimes, making something simply because you like it is enough.

That's one of the things I want to keep doing.

I'm joining DEV.to to share my projects, little experiments, and thoughts about creating things on the web.

I don't have everything figured out. But I'm excited to learn, build, and share along the way.

And maybe, somewhere in all those lines of code, I'll make something cute again.

Thanks for reading! 🌸
