History

An incomplete archive of all my personal websites

  • 2025: The current site.
  • 2021: I like the grid layout, but I fell out of love with next.js.
  • 2017: This one had a lot of things in common with 2021.
  • 2012: This was a good one, I made this when I was freelancing before I moved back to London.
  • 2011: I liked this one too, this was a basically a carbon copy of Naz Hamid’s ‘the personal page’ format, it was a great idea.
  • 2010: This one was well ugly... I think it was a riff of tumblr theme at the time.
  • 2009: This was the first one I made after getting a job I. I still like it considering.
  • Lost history... I made my first website in 2001 (when I was 14) using geocities, I used the free domain jonathanheslop.tk, I’m really sad to not have a backup. I had a 0.3 megapixel digital camera with a 16MB memory card and I used to post photos/videos on there. I was called into the headmasters office about it — they blocked the site from the school network.

About me

Jon Heslop is a web developer based in Walthamstow, he lives with his wife Rebecca and their dog, Maude. He enjoys cycling, cooking and hanging out with friends.

Enough of the third person... I was born in London, grew up on the Wirral before coming of age in the Midlands (somehow that’s the accent that mostly stuck). I went to university in London and then spent a while in West Wales.

I’ve been building websites since I was a teenager and I have been very lucky with the places and people I’ve worked with over the years.
