Thanks for putting this together. Just wanted to point out, Squarespace and Wix aren't the only options out there for drag-and-drop web builders. There's also indie options like Simple Webpage Builder (https://simplepagebuilder.app/) by Stefan Bohacek and Wobble Web (https://wwwobble.org/) by Olivia Jack.
Carrd(dot)co is also a really excellent site too. Lots of role players in FFXIV use carrd for their role playing character sheet, venue, or services. I designed a bunch of websites for in game currency.
for anyone curious, this is what i have 1 month later: eliodelio.neocities.org (i'm almost done adding all the tarot cards and then i'm going to start working on some more interactive features and gif curation for the horse centre....)
So grateful I ran into this. As an artist wary/weary of all the ai scraping, who needs to have made an art portfolio yesterday, and a lover of all things indie this is an inspiration.
I discovered the concept of the indie web through a niche Minecraft Youtuber who had a very unique way of self-expression. They had a neocities and I was hooked in descending such a rabbithole! Currently trying to figure out CSS because the whole movement really inspires me. It just proves how terrific art can be in different forms which made me fall in love with the indie web : )
Thanks for your story. That's how I found the wonderful Website "Cameron's World". I am a fan of this Indie Web and love personal Websites with these beautiful GIFs.
I also have a personal Indie-Style-Website, and I enjoy to create GIF-Images and GIF-Animations.

Wow it looks fun
thank u :)
ahh I made a neocities site in 2024 and it was so fun!! The community is so great, i 100% recommend this hobby to any and everyone I can.
if anyone is a fan of zettlekasten style note taking, the obsidian app is great for publishing straight to digital garden
really recommend https://indieweb.org/wiki as well!

Bringing back webrings & blogging communities would be cool.
I've found my people! I've been so obsessed with Cameron's World!
Yess, found my people too!
Actually started to revise my HTML with a view to building my own site from scratch!
Thank you thank you thank you for this post. It awoke my early 2000s internet goblin and I'm off to let my HTML know how emerge again!
i love this, i´ve been doing this for a while now and coulnd´t find other indie blogs so this is great
This is so cool thanks for sharing!
This is great - I'm really happy to come across this. I remember this web... I'm old enough to be retro.
Such a good read - thanks for putting all this together
