100% Hand Coded
All the HTML and CSS for this web site was hand-coded by Ed Zivkovic.
What is hand-coding?
Coding by hand means that no special WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editors or and other type of object oriented layout programs were used in the construction of the HTML and CSS for this web site.
Web Templates And Style Sheet
- Style Sheet
- Department Index Templates
- Article Templates
A style sheet was coded first along with a department index template and an article template. The department index pages link to corresponding articles on the site.
Due to the repetetive nature of the all the pages corresponding with the color chart, Ed Zivkovic made a generator program which "generated" the hand-coded pages each with different colors. This allowed him to create all 140 color name pages in three short days (About 36 hours).

It would have taken about two days instead of three had I made this generator program first. I realized it was taking too long after about twenty pages, so I made the page generator which generated the pages quickly and error free. - Ed Zivkovic
Ed Zivkovic hand-codes all his web templates with 1stPage 2000 editor (Free Edition) which allows speedy HTML development without bloating the code.

Here is what the HTML within this page looks like from within 1stPage 2000 HTML Editor:
1stPage 2000 is not an object oriented WYSIWYG HTML editor. As you can see, you have to enter all the HTML into the editor by hand.
