Many websites talk about their years of web design experience. It sounds great, but a smart business owner should ask one simple question: can you prove it?
We say MJSteadfast has 22 years of web design behind it. So here is the honest story, with dates, a real domain name and proof you can check yourself.
The timeline, year by year
The first website
Mariam Jamil builds her first website, Life29, a small personal site made with plain HTML. No WordPress, no page builders, just code and patience. See the 2005 copy.
Infinite Designer is born
After a few weeks at a web design company, she knows a job is not for her. She starts her own brand, Infinite Designer, and runs it from home as the owner.
infinitedesigner.com goes live
On 26 February 2007 the domain is registered. The website is designed in Photoshop, cut into slices and built in HTML, with web design and hosting packages for small businesses. The first client comes from simple SMS and email marketing.
A pause
Life asks for a break, and the work stops for a few years. The domain stays alive for a long time after that, because some dreams are hard to let go.
Back to building
After the pause, she builds steadfast.com.pk by hand in HTML. It is her first website in years, and the first time the name Steadfast appears. This website was hers from 2016 to 2018, and then MJSteadfast took its place. (Today that old domain belongs to someone else.) See the 2017 copy.
MJSteadfast begins
With encouragement from her mentors, Steadfast grows into a bigger plan with her initials in front: MJSteadfast, a studio for WordPress websites.
WordPress, Elementor and AI
The same love for design, now with modern tools. AI helps with speed, and every website is still designed and checked by a human.
Our web design experience, then and now
The web changed a lot in these years. Here is how building a website looked then, and how it looks today.
Don’t take our word for it
Check the proof yourself
The Wayback Machine is a free internet archive that saves copies of websites over time. It saved our first brand website again and again between 2007 and 2018, and you can see both of its designs: the first one from 2007 and the new look from 2009.
infinitedesigner.com
And after the pause: steadfast.com.pk, the hand-built HTML website she owned from 2016 to 2018 (saved in 2017). Today that domain belongs to someone else, so the archive copy is the real proof.

What this means for your brand
You don’t need decades of experience to build trust. But you do need to be honest about your story. Here are three simple things any brand owner can do:
Show dates, not just claims
“Since 2015” with a real story beats “years of experience” with nothing behind it.
Keep your proof
Old websites, domain records, first invoices and photos. One day they will tell your story for you.
Don’t hide the pauses
Every real business has slow years. Sharing them honestly makes people trust you more, not less.
Today, all those years go into every website we build: a clear message, fast pages and a design that feels like your brand. If you want a website with that kind of care, we would love to hear your story.
