Bios
Short bio. Trey Cox is the founder of The Old Web Project, an initiative to preserve the independent web and promote digital ownership.
Long bio. Trey Cox is a builder and the founder of The Old Web Project. Through a growing network of independent, retro-style websites and a classic webring, the project makes a practical case for a web people own rather than rent — championing personal sites, human discovery, open standards, and the preservation of both digital and physical media. The project is transparent that its sites are built today with modern tools, including AI; the point was never the technology, but the spirit: a web that feels like ours.
