↗ VISITThe $15,000 site that cost nights and coffee.
Hanna Cylinders has been building actuators since 1901 — and when I was GM there, the company website hadn't aged nearly as well as the company. Every time a potential customer said "I'll check out your website," I cringed a little. A rebuild got quoted at $15,000. There was no $15,000.
So I built it myself. At home, at night, after work — manuals, product photography, structure, every page on the site. It's the most intricate build on this bench and the one I'm proudest of, because nobody assigned it. It needed doing, so it got done.
Dozens more that paved the way.
Four sites are live right now — but those are only the ones with current URLs. The archive goes back years: client work, experiments, full rebuilds, and the sites that taught me how to build sites.
Every one of them hand-coded. The fastest way to learn a craft is to need it for something real.
