Hand-coded pages, by humans, for humans, on purpose.

About this page

Handmade Web is the part of the internet still made by hand, line by line. No-code site builders are great, but they all produce sites that feel a little the same. Hand-coded sites have personality, in the same way handwriting does.

What you'll find

  • Personal pages built in plain HTML and CSS
  • Idiosyncratic layouts that no template would produce
  • Hidden pages you only find by reading the source
  • Sites that look like a person, not a company
  • Pages where the design and the writer are the same human

How it works

Hit the button. We pull from a list of hand-coded personal sites. Some are old, some are new. They share a tactile, made-by-someone quality that templated sites can't fake.

The internet that feels alive is the internet someone made on purpose. Click, and you'll see what that means.
