Project #2 - Personal Website..... Sheesh!!
Semi-done, but yeah — this is the place to learn, build, and prosper.
I’ve had this plan and idea for a long time. Honestly, it’s been about 8 years.
I always wanted a personal website — a real digital home base where I could share my work, update ideas quickly, make changes whenever I needed, and keep building over time. In one of the photos, you’ll see a GitHub project I started 8 years ago.
Thanks to AI, and the ICM training from Jake in this Skool, this became much more possible — faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
Before this, my biggest issue was that I could build parts of a site, but I couldn’t create it the way I actually envisioned it. Long story short, it never came out how I wanted. JavaScript was difficult for me to learn at the time, and I had other priorities, so it never became the main thing I focused on.
But I’ve always had ideas, plans, systems, programs, and brands I wanted to build. Now, those things feel closer than ever.
This personal site is still in progress. I’ll show you Version 1, which was created by using my X account and my YouTube channel — youtube.com/@koachkev — as the foundation for my brand, style, and content direction.
Then I’ll show you V2, images attached
For V1, I took my accounts into Gemini and asked it to scan everything and create a review of my brand and style. Then I took that file into Claude and used it to create a claude.md file and a context file.
From there, I went into Claude Code, told it what I wanted, and out came V1. You’ll see that in the attached images.
V2 came from me adding, changing, and refining things. I knew I was still missing a lot — the details, the flow, the wording, and the overall feel needed work. I changed the colors, cleaned things up, and let it sit for a bit.
That’s also when I took it live using GitHub, Vercel, and Resend for the email newsletter system — all free.
For V3, I went back through old notes: ideas, programs, systems I knew I wanted to build someday, and YouTube video concepts I wanted to eventually put behind a paywall.
So I added boxes for those programs and designed them into what you see now, V3. I also added my men’s hygiene line project, plus a habit-tracking app I built last week and posted about.
The biggest lesson? The only person holding you back is you.
You can actually build.
V3 is live.
Right now, I’m working on V4 — with Three.js. I added a snippet, sneak peek. Hope this inspires you to take action. LETS GO!
