+ About Just D'oh It Just
D'oh It first started off as a site owned by Pete Campbell, the site was
launched on August 15th 2001. After around 2 months after the sites 
opening it
was closed due to lack of content and how difficult it was to update the site.
In the months of September 2001, Pete decided to propose to Phil Woodley (Who
was owning a different site at the time) that they should own a Simpson's site
together, naturally he accepted as he believed that co-owning a site with
someone else would hopefully cause it to be very popular.
The all-new Just D'oh It was then launched on December 21st 2001, featuring a
unique yellow design by Alex Southern
and hosting provided by him also. The site was now starting to be featured on
numerous popular Simpsons websites and its first of many mentions on the beloved
Simpsons
Top 100. As the site grew it got its very own domain: http://www.justdohit.co.uk
and moved host's to UZIPP. Although it did
not stay on UZIPP long as the site moved hosts to
OECK in February 2002
In early April, Pete and visitors themselves started to get frustrated with
the yellow design and felt the need for a "Home-Made" design.
Naturally, one was made and then launched on May 31st 2002. The site was made in
Paint Shop Pro 7 and was completely recoded in 
PHP. This design seriously
boosted Just D'oh It's popularity and caused it to enter the two biggest top
Simpsons sites lists, The Simpsons Top 100 (At 21st) and The Simpsons Top 50 (At
30+).
Before you knew it, November 2002 was upon us and Pete started to work on yet
another design in Paint Shop Pro 7 for the sites first birthday. The main
feature of the design was a huge image of Homer in hulk-form in the top right
hand corner, When launched on December 21st 2002 the design had mixed reviews
but in general was seen as an improvement and visitors were more concerned with
the overall
organisation of the site rather than its design. Over the year this design was
on Just D'oh It, framegrab's were introduced, not forgetting many more sections,
and the introduction of downloadable episodes on the site. Just D'oh It now
would average a 1000 visitors a day, meaning the site had came a long way since
its 100 average visitors a day the year before.
With the site now being a success and it having a bucket-load of content and
visitors, it was obvious that to raise Just D'oh It's popularity even more, the
sites interiors needed a full makeover. In the months of May til December, Pete
experimented with Photoshop 7 to create possible designs for this improved
version of Just D'oh It and moved hosts yet again to All
Toons. When finally deciding on a design to use in early December 2003, Pete
knew that this month would involve a lot of work if he wished to get the new
Just D'oh It up in time. The 5th and current version of Just D'oh It was
launched on December 21st 2003 (which was the sites 2nd birthday), with a
complete reorganisation of the site, we can only now sit back and watch the
future of Just D'oh It unfold.
