FIRST WEBSITE • 2011
This is where it all started.
In 2011, at eleven years old, I ran a blog about cats on Oldiblog. It introduced me to HTML, CSS and even a little JavaScript. More importantly, it is where I discovered how much I loved creating websites.

My first website
At eleven, I simply wanted to have my own blog. I used Oldiblog, a platform that allowed users to directly edit the HTML, CSS and JavaScript of their theme.
Very quickly, modifying the website became almost more interesting to me than publishing on it. I wanted to change colours, move blocks, add elements and, above all, make my blog look different from everyone else's.
Hours spent experimenting with code
I still remember spending hours trying to position an element correctly, changing a few lines of CSS, refreshing the page and starting again because it still was not quite how I wanted it.
I obviously knew very little about web development at the time. I learned a great deal through Le Site du Zéro, following tutorials and immediately trying what I had just discovered on my own website.
Much more than a blog
Looking back, the website is obviously very much a product of its time. But that is also why I like keeping it as it is: it represents the exact moment when I started to love the web.
I already loved that mix of creativity and technology: starting with an idea, changing something in the code and immediately seeing the result on screen.
A passion that stayed
It is funny, but despite all the projects I have worked on since then, Félix is probably still the one I am most proud of.
It is neither modern nor technically impressive. It is simply part of my story: this small blog, when I was eleven, is where I discovered a passion for building websites that has never left me.
