1998: starting to build websites

From 1998 I have been making websites. At that time everybody was offered to make their own websites for free like on AOL, Yahoo, Netscape, Geocities and many many more

Around 2010: when the web was changing quickly

All that free stuff online like free websites, free tools for webdevelopers, free thisses and thats started to fade away and taken over by mostly commercial websites. You can still do a Google-search for "free whatevers" but the search results mostly start with sponsored advertisements and the links below that are mostly misleading: you think you're going to a website with the "Top 10 free whatevers" but you'll soon find out that they are not free at all like "free to try" (and then you can only keep it after paying) and like "free demoversion" (where a lot of functionalities do not work and where they try to sell you the full version)".
The people that publish those "Top whatever websites" linking to these not really free whatevers, often get payed by these comnpanies behind those links using affiliate-accounts. And ofcourse: the companies that pay the most are always on top, so say goodbye to objectivity and honesty.

Not me: I do not go with this commercial flow

I still feel that the WWW should be for everybody, young and old, poor and rich, blue, green, yellow, pink, dark etc. no matter where you come from: same rights and same possibilities and opportunities for every living human being on our planet.

But that time has past forgood: if you are able and willing to pay a lot of money, you will have better chances, more opportunities and you will be able to compete and win and earn even more money online: there is no equality on the WWW anymore, it has become an arena of gladiators competing for their lifes and the slow ones and poorer ones amongst us can not compete anymore, just because they were born in a not so very rich place or family: money rules.

So whatever you find on my websites is totally free and no strings attached and no hidden agendas: what you see is what you get.

How do I feel about offering ways of contact and interactivity?

Here comes the tricky part of making websites: offering interactivity like a contactform, a blog, a messaging system or anything like that always imposes risks of hacking, spamming, phishing and all kinds of malicious content. As a websitedesigner / publisher a lot of your time will be consumed only because of this and because I just love making websites I want to do just that and not spend too much time on this interactivity-thing: I do not rely financially in any way of my websites and I do not have to make a profit: I just want to do what I like best.

And for this reason I choose to make use of external ways of interactivity like my blog on Blogger and whatever more ways I offer on my contactpage.
