<title>Ben Launches- My New Web Home</title>
<link>https://coderlegion.com/31226/ben-launches-my-new-web-home</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Over the past few months, I’ve been building and refining my personal corner of the web. Originally, I used &lt;strong&gt;Base31&lt;/strong&gt; as my main portfolio and hiring site at &lt;code&gt;hiresawyer.base31.org&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, I’ve decided to move in a new direction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I discontinued &lt;strong&gt;Base31&lt;/strong&gt; and switched my main online presence over to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://benlaunches.icu&quot;&gt;BenLaunches.icu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; — a cleaner, more flexible home for my projects, work, and future web-development experiments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The source code is open source, and you can check it out here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://github.com/NOTAM-bobk/benlaunches.icu/tree/main&quot;&gt;View the BenLaunches.icu code on GitHub&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;why-i-made-the-switch&quot;&gt;Why I Made the Switch&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Base31 was a useful starting point, but as I kept building more projects, I wanted a site that felt more like my own brand and could grow with me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BenLaunches gives me a better foundation for that. Instead of keeping my portfolio and projects split across different sites, I can use BenLaunches.icu as the central place where everything lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also gives me more room to experiment with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New layouts and UI ideas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Project showcases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Personal branding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Frontend features and interactions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Future web apps and data-driven projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;what-benlaunches-icu-is&quot;&gt;What BenLaunches.icu Is&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BenLaunches.icu&lt;/strong&gt; is now my main personal website and project hub. It is where I’ll share the things I’m building, highlight my web-development work, and continue improving my skills as a developer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The name also fits the direction I want to take: launching projects, testing ideas, and putting real work online rather than keeping everything local.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;what-i-m-focusing-on&quot;&gt;What I’m Focusing On&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I continue developing the site, I’m focusing on:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A clean, modern, and responsive design&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A better experience on both desktop and mobile&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Showcasing projects in a clear and organized way&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Building a site that can grow as I add more work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keeping the code available on GitHub for anyone who wants to explore it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I enjoy the process of taking an idea, building it into a real website, deploying it, and then improving it over time. BenLaunches is exactly that kind of project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;from-base31-to-benlaunches&quot;&gt;From Base31 to BenLaunches&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving away from Base31 was not about throwing away previous work—it was about simplifying things and choosing one main platform going forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Base31 helped me get started, but &lt;strong&gt;BenLaunches.icu&lt;/strong&gt; is now the main destination for my work and future projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;check-out-the-site&quot;&gt;Check Out the Site&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can visit the live site here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://benlaunches.icu&quot;&gt;BenLaunches.icu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And explore or fork the source code here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;👉 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://github.com/NOTAM-bobk/benlaunches.icu/tree/main&quot;&gt;GitHub Repository&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&quot;what-s-next&quot;&gt;What’s Next&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I plan to keep improving BenLaunches with more projects, better visuals, and new features. This is just the beginning of the site, and I’m excited to see where it goes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have feedback, project ideas, or want to collaborate, feel free to reach out!&lt;/p&gt;
