Building websites from a young age…
Around the age of 10 I built my very first website: a gaming site called Sim Moves, centred around providing news on the popular ‘The Sims’ franchise and creating machinima video content with The Sims 2 using the in-game video capture features. I built this site using ‘Freewebs’ and very much enjoyed my time designing, creating and maintaining it over the course of five years very much — and still hold incredibly fond memories of that time in my heart. A later version of this website from 2007 still exists in a very basic form here thanks to Wayback Machine. Over the course of those years, as I got more confident and adventurous, I started to introduce larger changes and I even began creating flash widgets using a website called ‘Sprout Builder’ that displayed an RSS feed of news I’d curated.
Sometime in 2008 at the age of 13 I made the switch to a PHP-based service with the help of some friends, which is when it expanded outward to become more of a website centred around providing information (game info / screenshot and videos / news) surrounding all of the games in the Sims franchise. Using Wayback Machine here, you can see a rudimentary and not fully cached version of the homepage of the website complete with blog posts and the scale of the navigation structure visible. At the bottom of the page is a visitor ticker which reports over 100,000 unique visitors… quite an accomplishment for a thirteen-year-old juggling school and home life demands. I left a couple of years later as the looming importance of GCSE exams took over. Sadly this website no longer exists today in any fully-functional form as after I left, another person took over and the domain was left to expire eventually.
