# Be Based. Build Bullish. By [BlockyBulls](https://paragraph.com/@blockybulls) · 2024-06-25 --- The past years my escape after work has always been exploring the world of web3. It's a constant learning process. However, bills needs to be paid and the time crunch is real. Someone wise once said to prioritize projects that put food on the table, but I believe dedication is key to success. So, here I am! Refreshing the website ---------------------- After the initial mint, the BlockyBulls website needed an update. As a native mobile developer by day, web isn't my strength. I started by browsing top collection websites for inspiration, but replicating them would have taken much longer than a weekend. Searching for templates, started with Thirdweb, the platform used for the smart contracts, but found nothing interesting. In the end, I found a template that I liked on Tailwind, but the $99 price tag made me think twice. So I just reproduced it and made it the way I liked. ![The BlockyBulls front page website](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1316d4b13728b73e89a978808afa58987e3fbdd660ff7b791ab9062a1194f64f.png) The BlockyBulls front page website Everything came together, even added what I needed, a dedicated page for future BlockyBulls projects! The **BBverse**, catchy right? 😅 This will be a portal to various projects around the BlockyBulls. Downloadable BlockyBulls with Base Background --------------------------------------------- The first feature I wanted to create, and may improve, allows BBull holders to customize and download their NFTs with a Base background. Looking forward to create something similar to have personalized stickers. Just something in the back of my head for now. ![The BBverse first small feature](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ed27f08324945821a3012c62a5bb282a3295fb7a99b004cfa3430b9403654600.jpg) The BBverse first small feature Beyond the Block ---------------- When creating the honoraries, I was seeking community input on who they'd like to see as a BlockyBull. And MemickNL suggested Einstein. Was not meant to go in the honorary but a perfect fit for a side collection called "**Beyond the Block**"! The collection that will BlockyBullified iconic figures and pop culture legends. This first one, dedicated to MemickNL who suggested Einstein, is just the beginning. Plans for future creations, potentially auctions on them, let’s see.

Although far from the original design, I love the idea of ​​a BlockyBull version of Pepe that could potentially make an appearance at PEPEFEST. Always with the idea to expand the BlockyBulls reach!

While still getting familiar with the platform, as we are onchain this is the place to be.

At first, I planned to use some of the 500 BBull I own for giveaways, but with the current collection price, I'll purchase NFTs directly from the secondary market. Another thing would be to participate in the Base Buildathon. This might shine a spotlight on the project, but with five days to go, it's a challenge. Let’s see if I or anyone in the community can make this happen! ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f59ebc61c74da7dffd0d855ac634189c37c54c9d87b57a9d519b712eea2c2b62.png) If you read this far, thank you for your time!
