To authentically present my career story, a trust worthy online presence is necessary. My personal website mentioned below has now gone through two major phases as the online portal to tell my real American story:

1. Designed and launched in 2021 to look good on mobile and laptop
2. Redesigned again in December, 2025 (this time using a mobile first architecture)

Mobile first simply means that the responsive mobile design is done first, followed by the laptop and desktop versions.

I was lucky to have these real mobile devices to assist in the development:

1. iPhone 14
2. iPad 7th generation tablet
3. Kindle Fire HD Plus tablet (Android)
4. A generic Android tablet
5. Samsung Galaxy phone (Android)
6. Motorola phone (Android)

Does Size Matter?

All of these devices were a tremendous help. Believe me, website design is not one size fits all! Most accommodating was the iPhone. It adjusted the easiest to the nearly one hundred or more tweaks throughout my webpage design process.

The look of a website's design should be an absolute sketch. What really happens? Each web browser interprets the web page code by adding an interpretive "mask" (in a figurative sense) over the browsers' proprietary layout. You know these browsers as Safari, Silk, Chrome, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, etc. What you want to see may not be what you get.

Today, big screen-size is not necessarily better because a major percentage of online viewing is done on a mobile device.

A special section of the webhost we use was created to test, test, test before launching. This website storyboard continues with never ending tweaks.

If you missed the mid-year 2025 Powerhouseradio.com blog posts about my Black Authors TV interview, my Powerhouse Radio story is a must watch 5 part series on YouTube.

Go to KingsleyHSmith.com, (a new window will open), and select the 'About' page. At the bottom of the 'About' page, touch the picture of me with the two interviewers. You'll go to the YouTube playlist. Watch the 5 part series, and more!
