Previous designs

Over the years - with a long pause - I've made a few attempts at making my personal homepage (most of them not on this domain).
Below, the ones I could find are listed with screenshots and the years I've spent maintaining them.
You might be able to see demos/live versions on the Projects page.

Immediate Predecessor (2019-2023)

Before the current version of my homepage, I tried a more minimalistic approach.
I still think that, especially for the dark design, it can work for sites with less content, but in the end it wasn't for me.

Screenshot of my homepage between 2019 and 2023 in a minimalistic light theme.

Historical Predecessors (2009-2013)

Before a looong pause in which I focused on non-web-projects, I quite enjoyed working on my homepage.
There were a few "designs" (remember: I was still a kid) which were heavily influenced by the early 00s-eraesque "Just put anything on your homepage and make sure you have a different background picture on every page" approach.
I actually experimented a lot in that time, so I really don't even know if there were more designs crawling around or when they've been online exactly.

Screenshot of my homepage between 2009 and early 2010, more or less a simple frame-based link directory.

The green clock in the header was a Flash animation!
Screenshot of my homepage around 2010 - actually in the same neon theme!
Homepage around 2010, with more of a full-page experience™ (without the use of frames) - actually the base for neon theme of the website you're on!.
Screenshot of my homepage between around
            2011 and 2013, still a simple layout, but a lot more colors and an image in the background.
Homepage between around 2011 and 2013, still a simple layout, but now with real background images (and a lot more chaotic design).
