I initially had a button wall on my homepage, but as I found more and more cool skites, it became unwieldy and cumbersome to update, but of course linking to other small websites is what keeps the small web alive, so heres my compromise. Since there are fewer sites I now have room for descriptions! These are sites that I am inexplicably drawn to and keep coming back to.
These sites do not necessarily reflect my relationships with people on the web, but rather sites and web makers that stand out to me. Know that it is nothing personal if you are a friend of mine, but are not featured here.
| Site | Description |
|---|---|
| Lulu |
A personal site inspired by the owners own days on angelfire, complete with old graphics, quiz on the side, and many hidden pages! Advocate of amateur personal sites and shitty code! not recently active, but still worth visiting. |
| Divergent Rays |
Fellow cat lover who collects lots of cool links and revived the Kitty Friends pixel club, one of the first pixel clubs I joined! Old school vibes with small old gifs decorating links and pages :3 |
| Solinus |
A young web designer whose designs feature skeuomorphism, glassmorphism, and solarpunk! Recommended a better css glass design for my cabinets on my pixel club page. |
| Satyrs’ Forest |
What can I say but wow... an intricate and elaborately designed site inspired by medieval manuscripts and greek religion+art. So many pages on so many things, I haven't come close to exploring it all. Passionate about language and polytheism. |
| Nickolox |
Biggest Waluigi enthusiast on the personal web! Chock full of purple and their own 3D models of their Mario sona! Combination of the gif filled old school designs with modern CSS, creating very fun and visually interesting pages. |
| Fabled Day |
An eloquent writer who muses about the internet and its impact on culture (or vice versa). Very fascinating articles on specific internet related events/cultures and how they impacted the author. |
| The Doll Archive |
Pixel artist who archives pixel dolls from the early 2000s internet era! Very intricate pixel site design featuring plants. |
| Starry's Grove |
Bright and cozy personal site featuring art and more! |

Smooth yet fun CSS design with unique interfaces for navigating and toggling components. I'm also a sucker for the color scheme. |
