There’s nothing like a recession!

There’s nothing like a recession to get you back on track … Many years ago I was tasked with creating and maintaining a website for our department at campus. The result was my first website (co-incidentally, it was a table-based layout, the year being 1999 and Y2K being all the rage). From there the idea of earning some income by doing some web development on the side emerged and poiesis.co.za was registered. Unfortunately, or fortunately, a lucrative job intervened and poiesis.co.za was put on the backburner. It became a small personal website for a while and then a personal collection of bookmarks. In the mean time I developed a couple of content websites as a hobby.

And then came the credit crunch, and that means get extra income! So here we are again … back to web development, but with a little help from a chap named Raoul. We’ve migrated the site to a new host, and have quite a bit of content to finalize and upload, including a good couple of Word Press templates. Most of our content is derived from learning about web development, particularly CSS and table-less design, ASP.NET and PHP, and backend database development using Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL and MySQL.

So watch this space if you’re looking to get into web development.
