About a year ago, I came up with an idea to create my own website. I just wanted it to be convenient and user-friendly, and maybe using some of the best design patterns. It wasn't a super smart idea to design the whole interface on my own, especially since I had no experience with design patterns. I spent several months just to draw the first page. I asked LLMs for ideas or samples - it all left much to be desired. Then I started combining UI elements from the websites I already knew. Finding it quite impossible to finish this madness, I decided to take a break for a while.
12 days ago I remembered something called WordPress. I had a bit of experience with it from one of my previous jobs. On the same day, I installed WP on free hosting, found a good-enough theme for my website, and got it working. It's still working, and it looks nice to my eye overall. Still, many things to improve on the website, but it's a good start, I guess.

More natural phrasing here.
