History of the Jawapro Website

Over the years, there have been a number of websites to bear the name Jawapro. Some have made it onto the net, others (thankfully) havent.

Very first version

This version was one of my first, if not THE first attempt at making a website. The colour choice is appalling, and the design is lame. But back in those days, there were lots of similar websites all over the net. This website was indended to be a site where you could get information on pretty much anything to do with Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Dune II, or anything else I was interested in. It never got further than a few pages though, and never got put on the net.

JawaPro Version One

This version made it onto the net. It was now a simple page where I could host stories that my friends and I wrote. That concept stuck with my designs for website for a long time to come, as did the colour-scheme. There was lots of flashing images and a lot of extra fluff, which I eventually learnt to tone down.

JawaPro Mark II

This version was modeled on the Yahoo.com layout of the era. I was trying to make it simple and easy to use, but ended up looking ugly and stupid. This never made it as far as the internet, it was just a stage I was playing with.

JawaPro Mark III - cloud.prohosting.com/jawapro

This version lasted for quite a while. In fact, I think it still exists at that address. It basically took the Version One site, added a frame with a menu on the side, a few more pages, and that was about it. It also featured the spinning world logo that I created myself and used to be very proud of, as well as the spinning "Welcome" image. Lots of spinning stuff here...

JawaPro Mark IV

Almost the same content as above, but a new color scheme. Modeled to remind me of Jurassic Park, this version never made it to the net.

JawaPro Mark V - Last of the Frames

Another version that never made it to the internet. This was the last website I made that used frames. After this I learnt about PHP and my websites all changed for the better.

JawaPro.TK

The first of the PHP sites, this version was on the net for quite a long time. Accessable by the address www.jawapro.tk, this site remained until my hosting company decided to stop offering free hosting, and the site disapeared. The next site was the first one I actually paid to have hosted.

JawaPro.com

This site was based on a PHP blog site I made as an assignment at Uni. It was the first site where I actually paid for hosting. It was the best site to date by far, and lasted for well over a year before the next update.

JawaPro.com Reloaded

After finally getting sick of the previous design, I created this, the same site, but with a new layout. Gone were the boxes of the previous design, which this one instead going for a great metalic look. Also, this one used CSS positioning instead of the old-school tables used in my previous designs.

And so far, that is my latest update. Stay tuned - because a new design is probably tumbling around in my mind somewhere. And they seem to have been getting better each time so far.
