CWC's Pokésite 2
CWC's Pokésite 2 is one of Chris's earliest websites about Pokémon, launched on 22 July 1999. Chris made a poorly translated Spanish version, which shows that his Spanish name is Ricardo W. Chandler. According to the sign, Chris made Espanolic the mascot of the Spanish version.
The email listed on the page is itsameCWC@aol.com, probably a reference to Mario's catchphrase, "It's a-me, Mario!".
History
In his resume, Chris proudly proclaims both the Spanish and English versions as having been created from "notepad scratch" thanks to his HTML classes. Given the quality of the sites, it is largely assumed that "notepad scratch" is a euphemism for "pulled out of his ass". Like everything else of a visual nature that Chris has produced, the sites were nothing short of eye rape. The website was spawned out of his fetish for Pokémon and originally featured Sonichu as the mascot.
The site's logo, shown below, was designed by Miranda Joyce Mitchell, one of Chris's high-school gal-pals.
In addition to the godawful aesthetics, the site also has a number of HTML errors.[1] For example, the title image is aligned to the left of the screen, because Chris wrote align=CENTER when he meant align="middle". This would have been obvious to Chris unless he'd been testing the site on a 600x480 monitor (already obsolescent in 2001[2]), and it would tend to make his work look even less professional to a software engineer who was considering him for a Web-development job.
Current status
Since the website has been at various times hosted on Chris's other fail webspaces, its current status is the same as theirs. He doubtlessly has a copy hanging around somewhere though, since Chris seems to feel that everything he produces is pure gold.
