Chapter 1: My Journey into Freelance Web Development
My career as a Software Engineer began with a position as a back-end engineer at a company that specialized in website building. Simultaneously, I took on freelance projects, providing services related to website creation. This included developing landing pages, full websites, and extensive online platforms.
The Concept
I recently made the decision to transform my freelance work into a more structured web development business. To promote this new venture, I reached out to my network, shared updates on social media, and established a dedicated website.
Typically, my clients seeking website services fall into various categories: startups, individuals needing quick landing pages for events or advertisements, and solo entrepreneurs. Their main goal is often to establish a visually appealing landing page quickly without making a significant financial commitment at the outset.
The Implementation
Realizing the need for efficiency, I decided to create a tool that would allow me to generate websites rapidly. Drawing from my experience with building website generators, I aimed to develop the quickest route to a polished online presence. I also wanted to incorporate AI to assist with content and image selection.
Furthermore, I envisioned the AI being able to discern which sections to include on the generated page, all from a single input prompt. This tool enabled me to create a website for John, who wanted to showcase the educational courses his business offers, as well as a site for Jane, who needed a platform for her new bar in Newton, Sydney.
Whenever a client requested a website, I would simply enter a brief description of their concept, and the tool would generate the site. While I sometimes manually adjusted sections and colors, the majority of the work was streamlined. I would then host the completed website on one of my unused domains and send the client the link, letting them know their site was ready for launch.
After a period of utilizing the tool, I continued to enhance its capabilities to evolve it into a comprehensive web service. This led to the launch of PagePalooza.com!

Currently, I work with a diverse range of clients through PagePalooza and direct outreach. If you're in need of assistance with creating a website or an online service/platform, feel free to reach out for a swift landing page or a quote for an online service, including backend integration.
Lastly, if you try out PagePalooza and encounter any bugs, please let me know! 😀 #TestingIsCostly
