The making of sudievu.lt

Every version of this site, photographed the same way, plays as one film. Below are six moments from it.

This is no measure of how long your site would take. Many things were tried at once here, so yours would come together much faster.

Six moments

  1. Build 27

    25 August

    A name, a line and one button

    The first version: a name, one line and a button. Even then the site had two jobs: show how a booking website is built, and sell one to a property owner.

  2. Before 129After 315

    1 September – 1 October

    A whole holiday-home website you can try

    This is the front page of a real, live website, with the house’s facts replaced. Beside it works the owner’s admin. It all runs in your own browser, so you can press things and see for yourself.

  3. A client’s page: notes and an invoice with a pay button
    Build 175

    3 September

    Every client gets a private page

    A client’s page shows their project: notes both sides can see, files, and invoices with a payment link. Since October it installs on a phone and sends alerts. The alert never shows what the note or file says.

  4. The new Hortus home page, rebuilt without WordPress
    Build 331

    2 October

    Two client sites, off WordPress

    I rebuilt two client sites without WordPress and counted that everything came across. Hortus: 173 of 173 pages and 902 of 902 files. In Favorem: 23 of 23 pages and 78 of 78 images.

  5. Backup diagram: Amsterdam, the server, my computer
    Build 360

    5 October

    My own server, and nightly copies

    Since 5 October this site runs on my own server. A change that would break it is stopped before it reaches the live site. Sites on the server are copied every night, kept in three places, and the restore has been tested.

  6. The home page today: the headline, the buttons and the sites already running
    Build 530

    17 October

    The home page, one calm scroll

    The start is now one headline and the buttons to the main places, with everything else below as you scroll. Between pages a loading screen stays up until the next page is fully ready, so you never see one half-built.
