We owe these places a lot for shaping past and present incarnations of the website all the way from 1998. Ah, those days when it's either WYSIWYG on dial-up connection or hand code stuff on Notepad and FTP the files over.

These people still rock!

Bravenet
Free webtools are always nice.

CoolText
The best online free logo and banner generator for noobs.

During Web 2.0, this is the most reliable free website search engine a noob can ever dream of.

All the gorgeous icons a non-designer can ever ask for.

The Bare Bones Guide to HTML
We first learned how to hand code HTML from here!

The Free Site
Back in those days, this was the best place to look for free stuff to enhance one's website.

Dead but Not Forgotten

• Leisure District. We did our first WYSIWYG web page here. Sure, it was only one page, but it was an accomplishment that got the ball rolling.
• Geocities. The first ever free web host we've used. We were at SoHo. Those were the days.
• Go! Homepages. The second free web host we moved to, where we coded stuff on our own instead of using a WYSIWYG editor.
• gURLpages. Hosted a few offshoot websites here, particularly our anti-Westlife website, sadly dead as well.
• HTMLGear. Another cool free web tool services, sadly dead.
• Webring. Really miss these guys.
• Worldzone. The first paid web host we used, after we grew sick of free web hosts dying on us.
• Lunarpages. The second paid web host we used. It's now been purchased by some other company and rebranded. Learned a lot about Cpanel here.
