I made my Website | #163

But this time, a better one

Mar 28, 2025

I create content on YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.

Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

I was always fascinated by people having their personal websites, where people showcased their work, curated resources, links to their projects, etc. I loved how people told their stories on the internet in a visual manner. That’s why I decided to make a website for myself.

Today, here’s the story of how my website has evolved over the last 3 years. It has been a fun journey. In total, I revamped my website 4 times. Recently, I made it on Framer. Read the full journey here:

My First Website

I made it on Notion and connected it through Super[.so] to host it as a website:

It was my first time making a website. I saw a YouTube live session by Vensy Krishna showing how to make a Notion website, so I made one for myself.

It was the best, as it was my first website, I was using Notion (my favourite tool), and I could tell people that I had a website.

Second Website with a domain!

Link: https://sites.google.com/view/pranavpawar/home

On my 17th birthday, I bought the domain and hosted it on Google Sites. When you had a Domain on Google Domains, you got a few free hosting websites on Google Sites, so it was a cheaper price.

Not a good-looking website, but but loved how I got to just drag photos and text and embed links. It was so amazing to see my domain live about my work.

Third Website: WordPress Shift

A year later, Google sold its ‘Google Domains’ to Squarespace, and when I saw the prices of Squarespace, I realised, WordPress can be a good option.

Also, I was planning to host some blogs on my website back then, and I heard WordPress had a good CMS, so I thought I could move to it. But never ended up making one.

Lastly, Framer

The last WordPress website is a better version I started making a month ago. I sent that link to a few friends for feedback.

One of my friends suggested that I use Framer for making a website. He said that I know Framer, I should make it using it, as it looks good as compared to a WordPress website.

So, I made the website on Framer. It’s a place that showed my journey, my work, and my content.

Thanks to Tejas and Shashank for helping me with the website. Two of the best guys I know for making great websites. This couldn’t have been possible without them.

Let me know if you have suggestions for my newer website. You can comment or DM me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
