We are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other in
boring social networks, generic templates which define what people are
supposed to know or communicate with each other. It's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless,
monetized, monitored entities and let our creativity flourish again.

That's where Neocities comes in. I want to provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want.
That's where Neocities comes in. We provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want.
Whether it be a web site about something they're good at, something they love, something they hate, or
their own custom "Profile" where they can introduce themselves in a way that actually matters to them.
And we can do this without selling out to the marketing industry.

It's a big project (to make small sites), and I have a lot of work to do.

The technology has become affordable enough where we can provide this creative space without requiring a business
plan that involves selling people out to the marketing industry. But it still costs money, especially since server
demand is so high right now. And there are some possible surprise costs I haven't figured out yet (bandwidth estimates are difficult).
<b>But if Neocities can get enough donations, Neocities can survive!</b>
Together, we can prevent

Our creativity is too important to be commercialized. <a href="/donate">Help keep this idea alive by donating!</a> $100, $20, $5, a
free round of beers at your pub, speaking invites so we can spread the word, free server hosting, anything helps. Thank you!
Neocities is just getting started, and we've got a lot of amazing things in store. Thanks for believing in us. We'll try very hard to not let you down.

Love,
