Building an Academic profile Website with Neocities

This short session introduces Neocities as a simple, creative way to build your own website,without ads, algorithms, or reliance on commercial platforms. It’s ideal for blogs, project sites, and digital storytelling, especially if you enjoy a bit of “hand-crafted” making and want full control over your work. We’ll cover what Neocities is, why it works well for independent publishing and long-term preservation, and how to get started with a lightweight site that’s easy to maintain and move. No coding experience required, just curiosity.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Design and style a webpage with colours, layout, and images using CSS.
  • Use images and content responsibly, understanding the basics of copyright, attribution, and Creative Commons.
