Yes, You Can Join Even If Your Site Is Just One Page

Some folks hesitate before joining a webring. “I’d love to… but my site’s just one page.”

We hear that a lot. But here’s the good news: That’s more than enough.

The indie web isn’t about quantity. It’s about presence. If you’ve carved out even a small space online to say “this is me,” that matters. That deserves to be discoverable.

A single page can still spark curiosity

Your site doesn’t need dozens of submenus or a sprawling blog. One well-crafted page – even a creative résumé, a link hub, or a single digital garden – can:

  • Share your vibe
  • Offer something memorable
  • Invite others to connect

That’s the magic of a ring. It links people, not just pages.

Tips to make your one-pager shine in a ring

You don’t need to overhaul your site. Just consider these gentle tweaks:

  • Give your page a clear identity – A headline, a short “about me,” or even a tagline can help visitors get the gist fast.
  • Link to your other spaces – GitHub, Substack, Mastodon, Etsy shop – whatever reflects you.
  • Add a touch of personal flavor – A visual, a quote, a color palette that reflects your style.
  • Include the ring widget somewhere visible – so others can pass through and find the next soul in the chain.

That’s it. That’s enough.

Webrings are built on intention, not size

There’s something refreshing about stumbling onto a tiny, personal website with a single, heartfelt message. Especially when it leads to another. And another.

So if you’re wondering whether your one-pager is “enough” to join a ring? It is.

Want to be found – as you are?
