I made a website for a contest when I was 10. It was absolutely awful, and looking back, I probably broke every W3 'rule' there is. It had a marquee, links that were the same color as the text, and more.
Even though the site was bad, I liked making it, and stick with it.
Now I'm 18, and throughout the last 8 years, I've been on the staff team of several large gaming forums, two of which I'm still staff at. (one gets 300k page views a month and the other gets over 1 million.)
I've also been working as a web developer with a small company for the last year. I realize that's it pretty much perfect for me.
I'm in college for IT, but I'm doing a web and mobile concentration.
Web design (and moreso development) for me is incredibly rewarding.
During my last year in FIRST I started a redesign effort on my team's website, which will hopefully be live before build season starts (assuming the current members get it done
)
