Webrings, reimagined for the link-loving misfits.

TL;DR
What Is Webring Studio?
Webring Studio helps indie creators bring webrings back – without code, without platforms, and without asking permission. It’s a tool. It’s a vibe. It’s a quiet rebellion against the algorithm. Add your site, join a ring, and start linking out like it’s 1999 — only better.

What Even Is Webring Studio?

Webring Studio is a quiet rebellion against the scroll. It’s a love letter to the indie internet – and a practical tool that helps creators build modern-day webrings without touching code (unless they want to).

This isn’t a startup. It’s not a platform. It’s not trying to be the next big thing.

It’s something better: small, intentional, and weird in all the right ways.

Where This All Began

There was a time – not that long ago – when the internet felt like a landscape you explored. You’d click a blogroll link, tumble down someone’s hand-coded rabbit hole, and emerge 30 minutes later with a new favorite site and a mild HTML addiction.

Then came the platforms. The feeds. The algorithms. The gray scroll of sameness.

I missed the old web. I missed the joy of discovery, the messy personal pages, the fact that someone would link to you just because they liked what you made.

So I built Webring Studio. Because the only way I know how to fix something is to make a thing and put it out there. Even if it’s imperfect. Especially if it’s imperfect.

What’s a Webring, Anyway?

A webring is a loop of websites that link to each other in a shared circle. That’s it. No fancy tracking. No third-party data-harvesting nightmares. Just a little widget or snippet that connects your site to a few others – like a secret side door to the rest of the web.

Webrings are:

• Personal
• Intentional
• Non-algorithmic
• Kinda charmingly retro

They say: I see you. I like what you’re doing. Let’s be neighbors.

Who This Is For and Who This Is Not For

Who It’s For

• Personal bloggers who want readers, not algorithms
• Creators with digital homes worth discovering
• Makers tired of chasing SEO and social reach
• Neocities fans, niche curators, and hand-coded site lovers
• Anyone who wants a more human web

If you’ve ever built a page just because you wanted to, Webring Studio is for you.

Who It’s Not For

Webring Studio is built for humans. Intentional ones. Creative ones. People who still think a little corner of the internet should feel personal, not polished to algorithmic perfection.

So, it may not be a good fit for:

• Brands seeking pure reach over relationships
• Marketers whose main KPI is traffic spikes
• Sites built solely for ads, SEO farming, or lead funnels
• Projects with no soul, no story, or no participation
• Anyone hoping to automate their way into community

This isn’t a numbers game. It’s a people game. If your goal is scale over substance, speed over soul, or you’ve got a landing page but no home… you might be looking for a different kind of platform.

The Philosophy Behind It

This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s not a retro aesthetic play. It’s about reclaiming something.

The web was never meant to be a walled garden. It was meant to be a constellation – tiny stars connected by links and curiosity.

Webring Studio is a gentle refusal to give up on that idea.

Let’s build the kind of web we want to live in. One link at a time.

Who Made This

Hi. I’m Donna (aka Konnectsus).

I’ve been designing and building websites since dial-up days. In fact, I’ve built hundreds of websites over the years, but this one might be my favorite little rebellion. I’m a writer, a digital wanderer, and the kind of person who still checks personal blog sidebars for good links – although I rarely find anyone using blogrolls anymore. 🙁

I made Webring Studio because I wanted it to exist. And because sometimes, making weird little things on the internet is how I remember who I am.

This isn’t a company. It’s a project. A vibe. A nudge to try something different.

How to Join

• Want to add your site to a webring? Start here.
• Want to explore the rings? View the directory.
• Want to support the project? Share it. Link to it. Tell someone who might care. Or donate if you’d like.

And if none of that feels right? That’s okay too. Just keep making your corner of the web – and keep it weird.

We’ll find each other eventually.
