- 1. Please introduce yourself.
- I'm Q. nice to meet you :)
- 2. How long have you been making websites?
- I've had this neocities website for 3 years now? but i've only started taking it seriously a year ago.
- 3. And what got you into the hobby?
- I think I saw a post going around on tumblr that was encouraging others to create a neocities page. I was like: "that seems interesting!" so that's what I'm doing now.
- 4. What kind of website are you most interested in?
- I really like old 2000s websites. They're extremely ugly and gaudy to look at, but I want to create something just as weird and lame.
- 5. What's your workflow? Do you plan your websites out thoroughly or do you come up with the design as you go along?
- Kind of both? I do plan the layout of some of my website's pages, but I mostly just wing it. And my workflow is horrible. I can only do things when I'm obsessed with it, and if i'm not i just ignore it.
- 6. Please link to your biggest inspirations.
- hehe
- 7. What's your favourite part about making websites?
- Definitely the final part, when I'm customizing it. But also the feeling of accomplishment when your website is finally the way you invisioned it.
- 8. And the thing you struggle with the most?
- Definitely CSS grid and flexbox. I find it to be confusing
- 9. Do you keep the same layout on all of your pages? Or do you use different ones?
- I use different ones depending on the vibes, i guess? sometimes I use the same layout when a page deals with slightly similiar content.
- 10. How confident are you with CSS?
- I'd like to say that I am confident, but I am not

- 14. Do you know JavaScript?
- No
- 15. How about PHP?
- No?
- 16. Does your website have a theme that you stick to?
- I try. It's loosely 2000s inspired.
- 17. Are you more focused on content or design?
- definitely design.
- 18. Do you own a domain name? If not, would you ever want to?
- No to both. It's sounds expensive
- 19. What do you think of nostalgia-focused or "retro" websites?

- 20. Is your HTML valid? Do you even check?
- I'm not sure? and also no.
- 21. What are your opinion on buttons and banners?
- I like them alot!! I tend to use buttons and stamps more than banners, though I struggle to find places to keep all of them.
- 22. What do you think of button walls in particular?
- Great! it makes it easier to find to find them after all.
- 23. If you started over again, would you make something similar or completely different?

- 26. Why do you use that one?
- I don't want to use up space on my computer for a text editor.
- 27. Do you host your image files on your web server, or on another host?
- Some I host on neocities, others I host on catbox. No real reason really, except to free up space.

- I don't know...
- 30. Do you keep local backups of your files?
- No.
- 31. Do you prefer simple or highly visual websites?
- Hmmm. simple, definitely. I like complex websites, but the ones I usually code I really simple, so I'd say that.
- 32. Do you stick to certain colours? Do you do that on purpose, or is it your subconscious?
- I notice that i usually stick to black and blue for some reason, despite the fact they're not my favorite colors. I guess it is somewhat subconscious.
