| I find most of these sites follow the brutalist web design

| easy to navigate and is readable, then why not?
|
| So much of the web are these copycat 'zines' which are jam-packed
| with all sorts of bells and whistles and have a sidebar packed
| with ADs and the content is laced with affiliate links so they
| can 'monetize' their web presence.
|
| I enjoy other people's little 'corner of the web' which isn't
| housed in a walled garden social media platform, like the bulk of
| content these days.

| Ya I love finding sites that are uniquely someone's, not SEO

| theirs. Likewise, most will not enjoy my site's design, but
| it's mine.

| I think I might try and join in on one of the virtual meetups.

|
| My site is one of those that modern folks call "virtual gardens"
| sometimes. Love to have new visitors, and I'm allergic to SEO for
| my personal stuff, haha.
|
| https://benovermyer.com is my site.

| trying to make it easier for newbies.

| Most of our meetings are online now, but we have a longer, two-
| day in-person event coming up in Nurnberg at the end of October
| (https://events.indieweb.org/2023/10/indiewebcamp-
| nuremberg-2...).

| Hello everyone! I have been co-hosting the Europe Homebrew
| Website Club for the last year and a half.
|
| During the calls we come together to chat about websites: what
| you are building, what you want to build, and how you can build
| it! If you are interested in the web, I (and the rest of
| community!) would love to see you!
|
| P.S. My site is https://jamesg.blog -- what's your domain name?
