Welcome to the cozy corner of the internet where discovery is personal again.
The Webring Studio Directory is a living archive of hand-curated webrings and personal sites – a constellation of creators who are tired of chasing algorithms and ready to be discovered for who they actually are.
Whether you’re here to explore or to submit your own project, you’re in the right place.
What This Directory Is (and Isn’t)
This is not a search engine. It doesn’t rank or scrape or track. It doesn’t decide what’s “valuable” based on clicks or keywords.
Instead, it’s a space for:
- Creative websites built with heart
- Niche communities forming outside the spotlight
- Quiet brilliance shared by everyday creators
It’s not about scale. It’s about soul.
How Sites Are Chosen and Listed
Every site in the directory has been reviewed by human eyes. We look for:
- Personal, independent ownership (no big brands)
- Creative or thoughtful content (not just link hubs)
- Some kind of throughline – a vibe, a theme, a voice
You don’t need to be a professional designer. You just need to be present.
We group listings by category so you can easily find the ring where you belong.
Each entry includes a short description – usually written by the creator themselves – and a few related links to get you wandering.
Random Pick of the Week
We feature a new site each week, pulled from the full directory. These aren’t ranked – they’re rotated. It’s our way of saying: discovery should be unpredictable and delightful.
Check the homepage, or click “Random” from anywhere in the directory to meet your next internet favorite.
Want to Join? Submission Guidelines
You can apply to be listed by selecting a specific, relevant ring and sharing:
- Your site URL
- A short blurb about what it is or why you made it
That’s it. If you want to start a new ring, we’ll help you connect the dots.
You don’t need to be perfect – just present.
