i used to make 'leaflet websites' in the 90s, then shopping carts. it was an era where everybody wanted an online presence to make themselves seem legitimiate. i expect this is the normal progression of anybody born in the 80s who could do software dev.

it got to a point where people would say they needed a website and i'd say to them that a facebook page would meet their needs better or eventually that a shopify site met their needs better. my business obviously folded.
