so a few of you have expressed an interest in building a website. i found some very helpful tools when i was working on building this site, and thought i would share!
i hope you get some use out of them!
neocities is a free hosting service for static websites. static means there aren't any javascript elements. it's fairly intuitive to use and has free guides. it also functions as a bit of a socmed, you can follow other creators!
sadgrl's layout builder. if you don't know what you're doing and don't have any specific ideas, this is an EXCELLENT starting point. you can dig through the template to learn what the different elements of a site do.
glitch is a great place to start putting your code together. you can also host a site here if you're so inclined, but i mostly use it to test new elements. with glitch, you can see how a change to your code affects your web page live. super convenient, super intuitive, and pretty colors don't hurt either.
some more layouts, these are from almostsweet
petrapixel's layout generator. this is the one i based my site on. it was the one that made the most sense to me when it came to figuring out how to move things around and really customize what i was doing. after getting some experience i'll be honest that the code is a little wonky sometimes, but it works well enough that you're here!
w3schools is where i learned how to really make the pieces of my site my own. the tutorials and layouts are amazing, and you can also choose different elements that you want to learn about specifically, like tables or images or whatever.
just a neat little thing to look through if you're into webdev like, philosophically.
from the site itself: Slash pages are common pages you can add to your website, usually with a standard, root-level slug like /now, /about, or /uses. They tend to describe the individual behind the site and are distinguishing characteristics of the IndieWeb.
again, self described: Odie makes a webpage with the content of a published google doc and gives it an Odie subdomain
a variety of web-weaving tools
melonland is a project, a community, a resource hub, and a neat little webzine
