Die Dormitio-Abtei bewirbt die neue Website aus unserer Werkstatt auf allen Kanälen. "Der komplette Relaunch unseres Internetauftritts dormitio.net hat eine klare Botschaft, die wir vom Jerusalemer Zionsberg und aus Tabgha vom Nordwestufer des Sees Genezareth senden wollen: Kommt und seht! Wir sind da!" (Abt Nikodemus Schnabel OSB).

::: UPDATE :::

My new website is now first and foremost a Social Media and AI Manifesto.

Running out of arguments when debating why commercial platforms and ‘AI’ are bad? Why we should be wary of vendors’ promises?

I’ve compiled a list of links to sources which I believe to be helpful in convincing others of leaving commercial platforms’ and software giants’ walled gardens.

The sources are mostly recent. If you miss something or find a source worth adding, please let me know in the comments. Thank you.

Boosts very welcome :)

(I have also included a robots.txt and an .htaccess to exclude malicious AI bots from the site, shout-out to Jeff Starr (⁠@perishable⁠), perishablepress.com/ultimate-a)

A friend wants a basic but classy website, for a sole trader business, that they could maintain themselves in the future.

They have no development experience, so the UI would need to be easy to use on a Windows 10 laptop.

Should we look at WIX, WordPress ( I know these are problematic in some ways that I've forgotten) or something else?

We're in the UK.

Options and opinions, please?

i'm raven, a silly #transgirl on the internet who likes to write, and create free-to-use #photography (mostly landscapes). u can find me on mastodon, and see what an overview of what i’m up to on my now page. i have so many interests and try my best to experience new things in this short life. some sort of neurospicy, tend to be overly genuine, a bit corny, over-opinionated at times

“very direct and able to be vulnerable very easily (a good thing!) and the most ethically-minded and community-focused person ive met!”

if you like hand-written HTML and the simplest of page composition I can't recommend enough net.art theorist Olia Lialina's "Prof. Dr. Style" as a search term
[What] message is delivered by classic Prof. Dr. pages, looking primitive and all the same? Independence. Inside academic circles, a page made in Prof. Dr. Style shows off distance from the institution's corporate identity and its Content or Knowledge Management systems, which is not an easy status to achieve. Outside of academia, such pages are made by people who know everything about the internet, but are too cool to mess with web design.

contemporary-home-computing.orgProf. Dr. StyleIt is difficult to estimate how many web pages created in 1993-1994 made it into the new millenium in their premordial way. If you manage to find something that was put online that time, it would in the best case display a 1995-1996 skin. But there is a way to find pages that live for ever in 1993.

I want to share with you my simple two-step secret to improving the performance of any website.

1. Make sure that the most important elements of the page download and render first.

2. Stop there.

You don't need all that other crap. Have courage in your minimalism.

If you're only displaying five sentences of text, use vanilla HTML. Hell, serve a textfile! Then you won't need compression hacks, integral signs, or elaborate Gantt charts of what assets load in what order.

Browsers are really, really good at rendering vanilla HTML.

We have the technology.

Nutritionists used to be big on this concept of a food pyramid. I think we need one for the web, to remind ourselves of what a healthy site should look like.

Here is what I recommend for a balanced website in 2015:

- A solid base of text worth reading, formatted with a healthy dose of markup.

- Some images, in moderation, to illustrate and punch up the visual design.

- A dollop of CSS.

- And then, very sparingly and only if you need it, JavaScript.

(...)

The way to keep giant companies from sterilizing the Internet is to make their sites irrelevant. If all the cool stuff happens elsewhere, people will follow. We did this with AOL and Prodigy, and we can do it again.

For this to happen, it's vital that the web stay participatory. That means not just making sites small enough so the whole world can visit them, but small enough so that people can learn to build their own, by example.

I don't care about bloat because it's inefficient. I care about it because it makes the web inaccessible.

Keeping the Web simple keeps it awesome."
