If you've been thinking about setting up your own website, you should check out https://neocities.org and https://glitch.com, which will let you make one for free.

Not interested in diving into HTML and CSS quite yet?

Here's a little tool I made that can help!

https://simplepagebuilder.app

And some more resources to get you started: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/resources-for-keeping-the-web-free-open-and-poetic/

A great way to start making your own websites is looking at the @glitchdotcom Glitch in Bio project template. The README also has instructions on how you can get a verified link on your Mastodon (and other fediverse platforms) profile.

https://glitch.com/glitch-in-bio

This is all free, so go give it a try, help us make the web more personal!

And as a bonus, you can also get a little author badge whenever someone shares your page!

@cemre Ha, I can see that!

I just think WYSYWIG editors are still pretty neat, and if it helps folks participate in creating a shared, more social web, all the better!

@stefan agreed! These tools are extremely accessible. In fact I created my first website with a WYSIWYG, MS Publisher, when I was nine!

Edit: dropping it here, https://2007.cemrekarakas.com

@stefan that is very nice. Do you think you'll setup a system to allow others (me) help you translate to other languages?

Also, did you ever look at hotglue.me?

@dosch Thank you!

I do have a ticket open to look into adding translation capabilities to the site, definitely need to prioritize this: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/simplepagebuilder/issues/7

And Hotglue looks awesome!

Reminds me a bit of https://kinopio.club, really nice approach to making personal websites!

@stefan FINALLY! I have my own domain, but trying to figure out your own website has been SO HARD.

Like i just can't come up with anything while browsing WordPress themes & i'm still too rookie with coding iteself. This page builder is great!

@Jarska96 Thank you!

Yeah, it's a bit basic, very much work in progress. But definitely intend to improve it, so if you do give it a try, let me know about your experience!

And I think you might also enjoy looking through the "Get inspired" section of the blog post I linked to!
