Some History

From about the year 2000 to 2013, I built over 1,000 websites for my business back in the days when search engine optimization was more of the wild-west. I did this by using what I call 'Software Assisted Web Development'. Some people would call this a Content Management System (CMS), but it really goes beyond that as I use software (currently Visual Studio 2022) to be the interface between me (a human creating content) and my website (a bunch of files). I had a business to run, so even though I liked programming, I handed that off to some other people and focused on running my business. I am now in a different state, so over a decade later I have started making websites again, this time for fun, not necessarily for profit.

My Structure and Foundation

I am going to start my foundation using three .css files, one .js file, and one google script file. I put these in the assets folder to keep them all together. It took me a few hours to decide to use the asset folder, as opposed to other methods. I just want my root folder to stay fairly clean.
