about this website
yeah, I designed this website. (can't you tell lmao)
eventually, I'll even have this in my own handwriting.
so, why not use Wix or something?
- I love to do things the
harddumbway I want. - I do a lot of stuff and I wanted that to come across. it's hard making a resume, I'll tell ya.
much of the reason why I took on this endeavor as someone who's played around with a lot of coding languages, but wanted to utilize to express myself was answering this question:
when did the internet get so boring?
my web design sense comes from someone who, as a child, would force everyone to watch the special features on the DVD instead of the movie itself.
don't you love when you open up a website that surprises you? all the silly dohickeys that bands would add to their sites for intrigue, or hell, even homestuck?
does every single website have to be sleek to be professional? sure, compatibility and accessibility are important, but that's just in debugging. we had this jank in the 2000s with shittier computers. I'm currently working on making this site more accessible as I learn more about coding as well.
to me, the tier-list for sites is this:
- something unique that speaks to you and the work that you do
- a Wix template with a single page format that is sleek, compatible and works, but is boring
- a pre-built website that has updated content, but has depreciated
- ancient website written in html that isn't even interesting nor updated because if you touch it, it may explode
about me
answering this kind of thing is really hard for me. it's one of the reasons I've made a website to begin with! for starters, I'm sisi. I'm a creative who can't seem to pick a niche and I've instead decided to go maximalist in all the directions that are of interest to me. maybe from the offset, that looks like someone who's doing a lot at once and a lot of spinning plates, but I've decided to try and lean into interest vs. making myself one thing.
as a result, I've kind of filtered this site into different lanes of how you might find my work and where you can find it. I'm a writer, video maker, content creator, web dev, and podcaster. even working on a craft business! it's possible that some of these areas may be less fleshed out than others, but all of them make up the bigger picture of what I'm about. I do stuff differently because that's the only way I can do it.
