Launch Day
Day 11Backstory
We recently restructured our business and we needed a professional website for our umbrella brand, Semantic Bridge, and list all the services we are offering and brands that are part of the Semantic Bridge.
The Challenge
The main challenge was probably just getting the branding to feel right
Features
- Overview of the brands we have
- Team page listing me and Jordan with our socials
- Company address and contact information
- Privacy terms and general terms and conditions we can reuse in other projects
- Careers page where we can list open positions
- Contact form (doesn't work yet, but I'll fix it very soon)
Technical Implementation
I chose this website to be static because there's not much that needs to happen on the backend. It's my standard stack of Cloudflare Pages, GitHub repo, and my own static website generator built with Python, Jinja2, and just rendering JSON files with data into pages. It's very simple but also very flexible because I can adjust it to whatever use case I need.
Monetization
Now we have a page where we can offer services like B2B language courses for people learning Dutch, IT consultancy, and AI consultancy. Considering how this challenge is going, we could also offer MVP development for people who would like to get their idea up and running with the best security practices, a very performant solution, and a very cost-effective solution in terms of running it.
What I Learned
Getting to the right feel of the website still takes some time. I'm starting to get an idea on what I like for organizing static applications. My static website generator is already also kinda taking shape and getting stable. If you have your data, you can go pretty quick these days. Also, Hetzner is insanely good hosting - they provide world-class hosting for very cheap, like 3-4 times cheaper than DigitalOcean, and they're fast with a lot of traffic allowance.
Final Thoughts
I am still catching up. I had an impromptu day off on day 11. I think I will restructure the 30in30days.com website a little bit because I want to separate projects from days and have a journal for a day and information page about a project. These are not the same things. Ideally you do a project per day, but with this challenge, that's not how it's going.
