As a total non-techie, can we take a moment to appreciate how much actual work and knowledge goes into building pirate sites in the first place? Like no matter whether you think that iteration of ‘stealing’ is moral- not what this post is about- I MYSELF CERTAINLY don’t know how to format and host all that stuff. Nor do I know how to get the smutty advertisements to bring in a trickle of income at a time for all that site-building work.

A person who shoplifts (and again not getting into the morality of that, crisis of cost of living, etc) just shows up and palms stuff surreptitiously.

A pirater has to teach themselves and do a lot of stuff!!

Hey neocities community! I'm a freelance illustrator and game artist dipping my toes into web design for the first time. My ambition is to create a portfolio site with a point-and-click game vibe, using the most simple code I can put together. I would love to create a unique space that feels interactive and endlessly exploreable. The site will feature my various art projects, and there are already some (small) playable games up for download. I'm aiming to add more animated elements later down the line, but I'm currently learning the ropes of html and the site is still very bare bones. For now, please enjoy the fun visuals of my cave as I continue digging the tunnels deeper and deeper..

These are some of my current goals i'm seeking more resources/tutorials for: -Find a suitable way to add buttons and text on an image -Play animations when hovering and on button press -Layering images -Create a photo gallery with filters/tags in the style of the site -Make the site more accessible and scale everything consistently -Build a simple dressup game using drag and drop pngs -Find a new guestbook host, as 123guestbook.com is going away

hey does anyone know good websites to showcase portfolios?

i have a weebly website but its honestly a little annoying to work with; i want to have a site where i can just drag and drop stuff.

in theory i could move my portfolio fully to carrd, but that's not the most ideal

[saint-nevermore]

highly considering making myself a webbed site with neocities so if anybody has resources on website building hit me up! i know very little about coding and such and would liked to learn a bit so i can start experimenting towards some visions i have for a site lol

After doing some work and editing, I've updated my website! For those unaware, my website acts as both a method of finding me on other platforms AND to find information about my commissions. I've now included a new tab to show adoptables I've made and their availability <3

On the Work List page, you can also see the Comm Queue, available slots for both regular comms and stream comms, and the last time it was updated! The link to my site is in my pinned so it's easier to find without having to dig for it.

I may edit the Adopts tab some more tho 🤔 I'm not 100% set on how it's laid out at the moment but it's at least functional. I did try putting the adopts like a gallery, however, that did Not look good so I'll have to tweak some more if I want the gallery option. It's currently in this 3 column setup instead with different sections for ✨organization✨

Portfolio Website

Jess, our Illustration blogger, writes about the importance of portfolios for artists. Similar to a resume, portfolios help artists display their work for people to see. Read Jess’ blog to see her struggles and likings while creating a digital portfolio!

We all know the importance of a resume, the sheet where we show the best of us, hoping to impress the person reading it. Well, for us artists, a resume is not the only way our employer/clients get to know us. Arguably, a portfolio is even more of a reflection of an artist. Therefore, recently, I have been looking around for websites that could help me build my website for free. Artist: Jake…

Top Frontend Development Trends to Must Watch in 2025

Frontend Development continues to evolve rapidly. New technologies and frameworks are being introduced that improve the user experience. Staying ahead of the trends in 2025 will be crucial for both developers and business. Here are some of the most important trends for 2025.

Frontend Development Trends In 2025

1. AI-Powered UI/UX

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing Frontend Development. It enables smarter design automation and personalized user experiences. AI-driven chatbots are also available.

2. Adoption of WebAssembly Wasm

WebAssembly has gained popularity, as it allows developers to run high performance code in web browsers. This increases the speed and efficiency of web apps.

3. Server-Side rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation

SSR and SSG are more powerful with frameworks such as Next.js or Nuxt.js, and they improve SEO and page loading speeds.

4. Motion UI and Micro-Interactions

Websites become more dynamic and friendly with engaging animations and micro-interactions.

5. Component-Based architecture with Web Components

Reusable components using technologies such as React, Vue.js and Angular allow for faster development and improved maintainability.

6. Progressive Web Apps

PWAs are bridging the gap between mobile and web apps by offering offline functionality, push notification, and faster loading.

7. Low-Code and No-Code Development

Frontend Development is simplified by tools like Webflow or Bubble, which allow for faster prototyping.

8. Dark Mode and Theme Customization

Dark mode is becoming more popular, and developers are being urged to create adaptive UIs for greater accessibility.

9. Enhancing Cybersecurity in Web Development

Secure coding practices and HTTPS adoption are essential for frontend security.

10. GraphQL & API First Development

GraphQL transforms data retrieval, making APIs efficient and frontend interaction smoother.

It is important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in Frontend Development if you want to master it. Kodestree's web development courses and other Software Courses are taught by industry experts.

A 'Fun' section has recently been added to the Info Geek (IG) website (https://www.ig.fyi/fun.html). For the moment, it includes the 'Daily Horoscope' and three mini games (Sukodu, Tetris and Connect the Bubbles). More fun is on the way. And don't forget to buy some IG coins on pump.fun or four.meme or one of our NFTs on opensea.io. Have fun!

My website in 2024 reached 72 countries worldwide.

I may have a broken website, it isn’t optimised for mobile yet, the front page isn’t done, and I’ll be changing the template - again; it’s showing me it’s feasible.

Celebrating every little milestone that I’m building for myself and clapping for myself.

I’ve found certain avenues that will speed up the process, and by the end of the year I’ll have a fully functioning website!

10 Site Speed Mistakes That Might Be Killing Your Sales

Your website is often the first interaction customers have with your brand. A slow-loading site can cost you not only in sales but also in customer trust and retention. If your site speed isn’t up to par, even the best website builder or most innovative ecommerce website creator can’t save you. Below, we’ll cover 10 common site speed mistakes you might be making—and how to fix them to improve conversions and sales.

1. Overloading Your Website with Large Images

Large, unoptimized images are a major culprit in slowing down websites. While high-quality visuals are essential for an attractive design, they need to be compressed and optimized. Tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim can help you balance quality and speed. Pro Tip: Many website building online tools include built-in image optimization features.

2. Ignoring Browser Caching

Browser caching allows returning visitors to load your site faster by storing files locally. Not enabling caching can slow down your website significantly. Make sure to set up proper caching rules, especially if you’re building an ecommerce website.

3. Not Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN stores copies of your site on multiple servers worldwide, making it faster for users in different locations to access your content. If you're running an online reselling business, leveraging a CDN can ensure your website performs seamlessly across regions.

4. Choosing the Wrong Website Builder or Hosting Plan

The platform you choose to build your website plays a crucial role in its speed. Some website building sites or hosting plans aren’t optimized for performance. If you’re on a budget, consider the best free website builder options that still offer decent performance.

5. Using Excessive Plugins

Plugins are a quick fix for functionality, but too many can slow down your site. Audit your plugins regularly and deactivate the ones you no longer need. If you’re a reseller business owner, ensure your essential plugins don’t compromise speed.

6. Skipping Mobile Optimization

With mobile traffic on the rise, a poorly optimized mobile site can alienate a significant portion of your audience. When calculating website creation costs, don’t overlook responsive website design features. Mobile optimization is non-negotiable.

7. Neglecting to Minify Code

Your website’s code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) might contain unnecessary characters and spaces that increase load times. Minifying this code can significantly improve speed. Use tools like UglifyJS or CSSNano for this purpose.

8. Not Monitoring Server Performance

Slow server response times are another common speed issue. This is particularly important if you're building an eCommerce website, where downtime can directly impact sales. Investing in a reliable hosting provider can make all the difference.

9. Forgetting About the Importance of Business Planning in Site Design

Your website should align with your business goals. A poorly planned website structure can slow down navigation, impacting user experience. Whether you’re focusing on reseller business ideas or trying to scale an online reselling business, plan for speed and functionality from the start.

10. Ignoring Regular Speed Audits

Site speed isn’t a one-and-done task. Regular audits using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix are essential. Consistent monitoring ensures your site performs well even as you add new products or features.

Why Site Speed Matters More Than Ever

Slow sites can result in higher bounce rates, lower search engine rankings, and lost sales. As you build or revamp your site, consider not just the website creation cost but also the tools and strategies that ensure optimal speed. A seamless experience will not only boost conversions but also strengthen your brand’s reputation.

In the fast-paced digital landscape, even small delays can have significant consequences. Take the time to address these site speed mistakes and watch as your sales and customer satisfaction soar.
