CWC's Pokesite in construction!

The site in question.

CWC's Pokésite 1, originally referred to simply as CWC's Pokésite, was a website with news and links on Pokémon created by Christian Weston Chandler. It was Chris's first babystep towards his long career of website-making. The page was launched somewhere between April 25 1999 (when the domain was reserved) and July 3 1999 (when Chris got the first replies in his guestbook, from his parents).

The quality of the site is actually relatively good; judging from the source code it appears to be based on a pre-built template from AcmeCity's "HomeBuilder", and was possibly made under adult supervision as a school project, supported by a guestbook entry left by what seems to be a teacher. Chris lost interest in the project quite soon, and by the end of July 1999, it had already been replaced by the much more amateur-looking CWC's Pokésite 2, with its notoriously hand-crafted HTML.

El PokéSite de RWC

The site apparently had a Spanish translation, El PokéSite de RWC[1]. There are, however, no traces left of this page, but this doesn't really matter as his Spanish grammar was probably just as useless then as it is now.
