Designing a website is a lot harder than it looks, and it looks really hard

So, after two years of owning the .net and .us domains for The Kitchen Chemist, I finally had the motivation and time to dedicate to work on building a functional website. After doing a modicum of research, I settled on a builder service and began crafting my masterpiece. 5 minutes later, I was googling how to do the most basic possible thing in the website editor. While the Wix builder is actually rather intuitive, as with all digital things if one thing breaks, everything breaks. I will persevere, however, and hope you will all bear with me patiently while I work out the kinks. I realize the website looks a bit ugly, or unprofessional, or amateurish, or a dozen other mean words, but my primary focus is function over form. My goal is to get all the content settled, then worry about how pretty it looks. With that in mind, here are my goals for the website (some of these are at least partially functioning now):

• A home page that shows the latest content

• A searchable video page that links to the relevant content

• A searchable recipes page that properly links to recipes

• Printer-friendly recipe formatting

• Progression photos for recipes

• Modular tips and tricks for recipes

• Kitchen tips organized into categories, with a primer on getting a basic kitchen set up

• An interactive ingredient library that gives you tasting notes, common uses, and links to recipes that use said ingredient

• A way to submit feedback and episode ideas

• Perhaps a donation/patreon so that people can support us, ingredients ain't free (or sometimes even cheap)

• An interactive food science gallery with useful information on nutrition, molecular gastronomy, etc...

• Blogs with restaurant reviews, musings, and helpful kitchen advice

All of this will be added as I get more familiar with the tools available to me. I want this website to be your one-stop shop for all your cooking needs. Remember what Ratatouille said: "Anyone can cook".
