As we all know, making a site by writing HTML/CSS/JS from scratch is much more difficult than signing up for social media or making a Carrd. So I was thinking, why not have a thread for helping people with that?
I'm thinking it could be pinned in Tent Pitching, with one or two posts set aside for linking resources (places like Neocities where you can start a site for free; HTML/CSS tutorials; templates) with the rest of the thread being open for other people to suggest resources, or for people to ask questions that they don't want to make a new topic for.
(Alternatively, this could be a sub-sub-forum under Tent Pitching, too?)

Seconding this! We use Google Sites a lot but would like to branch out (or at least I would, not sure if anyone else up here even feels the need to make websites).

(Oh yeah, another idea for this thread/subforum: a list of possible things you can put on your website, since there's been at least one person who's said they've been interested in making a site but have no idea what to put on it.
Also: templates and graphics made by and for the community, like headmate bio templates, userboxes, stamps, etc? A thread to share site buttons for folks who want to link to each other? Webring recruitment threads?? There's a lot of possibilities here!)

Irkeneon made some cool stamps/graphics, and Anomaly has a page on werecards. For webrings there's the Alterhuman Summoning Circle which disclaimer I'm not part of, so I can't personally vouch for it.

This is a great idea! I see you've already gone ahead and made the post in Tent Pitching; I'd be happy to pin it for easy access.
