Version One

I have no screenshots of the first version, nor the code and can no longer recall what it looked like. Very basic probably!

Version Two

The second iteration came about in early 2017. This included a custom design and a home-brew gulp static site builder. It was built in a hurry and while serviceable I was never that happy with it.

Version Three

Web design is not my core skill so I used a template from HTML5UP as a starting point. My home-brew static site builder was replaced with react-static. Super simple to use and creates blazingly fast sites.

The site itself was built with ReactJS. The most frequently modified content was served up by Prismic Headless CMS. This content is fetched at build time and used by react-static to generate the static files for hosting.

Version Four

The current version of the site. Built with the latest versions of React and NextJS. The theme was updated and I decided to use markdown files for the content instead of Prismic - since the content is not updated that often and it meant one less thing to keep up to date.
