HTML and sun-glistening-off-the-water backgrounds

Ah, the genesis. Let there be web, and there was web.

I remember the very first website that I built. It was 1995, out in San Diego, California. A site for yacht cleaning. 85£ That’s right. 85 Sterling pounds (not including VAT mind you) was my first price.

My web agency was open as an individual corporation, and ready to roll. I think the guy found me on Yahoo! USA – that’s how good I was in the early days.

Joke aside, despite the amazing graphical illusion of a pool under the sun, and the centred text, the bold title, and the big blue links, the website was a winner for that bloke. Little did I know that the web was going to boom and become the goto place to find someone to clean your yacht. But that’s what it has become. And I do think that brilliant background was the spark for us all.

Start your web agency, and they will come!

Once you are ready, just take the leap.

Don’t let the bad thoughts stop you from taking the leap
