Explore the journey from Web Project Mechanics to WebSpark, a suite of web applications designed by Mark Hazleton to enhance digital experiences.

My journey with Web Project Mechanics began in 2003 when I first developed it using Java Server Pages. The goal was to create a robust content management system that could handle the complexities of web development. Recognizing the advancements and potential of the Microsoft platform, I transitioned the project to .NET Framework. This shift brought enhanced performance, scalability, and integration capabilities, laying a strong foundation for future developments.

Over the years, the needs of web development have evolved, and so have the technologies and methodologies used to address them. Web Project Mechanics served its purpose well, but I saw the need for a more modern, versatile, and powerful suite of applications. This realization led to the creation of WebSpark.

WebSpark is built with the latest technologies, including .NET 8 and Bootstrap 5, to provide a comprehensive solution for a wide range of web development needs.

The Evolution of WebSpark

From Web Project Mechanics to WebSpark: A Journey of Innovation in Web CMS

WebSpark, my state-of-the-art web content management system (Web CMS), has a rich history that began in 2003 with the creation of Web Project Mechanics. It all started as a way to share photos of my children in a private, protected way while my wife and I were on expatriate assignments in Poland and the UK. Initially developed using Java Server Pages (JSP), it was quickly migrated to the Microsoft Stack, including using MS-Access as the backing database.

My journey in web development began in 1999 when I purchased my first domain, Frogsfolly.com, and launched it using FrontPage to generate HTML files. This early experience laid the foundation for my understanding of web technologies.
