Join the project
Be part of the human web
There’s no membership fee and no gatekeeping. The project grows through people who build, submit, archive, and share. Here’s how to take part — pick one.
Build a personal website
Even a single page on your own domain is a vote for the independent web.
Submit your site
Add your independent site to the directory and the webring — the form is right below.
Add the badge
Embed the 88×31 badge + webring nav so visitors can travel between member sites.
Subscribe with RSS
Follow sites directly instead of through a feed. Bring back the open “follow.”
Contribute essays
Help make the case — pitch a piece on the independent web or preservation.
Archive endangered content
Save a vanishing page to the Internet Archive and your own drive before it’s gone.
Submit your site to the ring
Building something independent — a fan site, a personal page, a weird little project that isn’t trying to harvest anyone’s attention? You’re exactly who this is for.
