Before AI, before automation, there was FrontPage Express.
Windows 98. FrontPage Express. A dial-up connection. No fancy CMS, no drag-and-drop builders. Just raw HTML and patience.
Find what people are searching for. Give them exactly that. Put ads on the page. Repeat 30, 40, 50 times manually.
"Funny Clip-Art." Simple text. No distractions. It wasn't pretty, but it converted like crazy because it solved problems.
"It was manual. It was slow. But it was the foundation of everything."
