gm, frens! 🧵👇

When I first decided to create a new artist portfolio web3 website, I received quotes ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 from various design studios. At first glance, these prices seemed incredibly high, but upon reflection, I realized they're justified. If I were tasked with creating such a website for someone else, I wouldn't charge less than $40,000 myself.

Since launching "Code of Culture" in December, I've entered a period of deep focus—what I call "monk mode." I've spent countless hours, day and night, designing and building the front-end entirely on my own. To support this work, I hired backend and DevOps specialists to develop a robust dashboard and analytics system, with a total investment of about $10,000.

The digital art space has given me so much, and now I feel it's my turn to give something back. I'm exploring the idea of open-sourcing my entire website system to empower other artists. The challenge, however, is that every artist will naturally want their own unique design, rather than using a standardized template.

This is an open call to entrepreneurs and builders: If you are interested in turning my website into a platform that allows each artist to easily create their own customized website by selecting from multiple design templates, I am ready to support you fully with my resources, experience, and insights.

Let's collaborate and build something meaningful together. 🫂
