I officially started learning html in July of 2023 — my only experience prior to creating this site was poking around in a tumblr theme or writing an ao3 summary — and while I won't claim to have become any sort of coding master in the past six months, I've still learned a lot about html in the meantime! This page is meant to serve as a small introduction to website making, coding resources, and generally things to help you get started!

Some general tips at making your website more accessible!

• Responsiveness: as much as it might suck to hear, your website needs to be responsive (i.e., it needs to be readable no matter the sceen size). The majority of people nowadays look at the internet on their phones, and the "reclaiming the net" sentiment to say fuck phones does little to help people move away from ad-focused social media. This is a good blog post about the need for website responsiveness, but I'll leave you with a few tips about actually implementing such:
1. 1. Use a premade responsive website template
2. 2. Use percentages, not pixels, when assigning widths to elements
3. 3. Learn to use the media attribute
• Color design: randoma11y is a really good site for finding good readable color schemes for your site!
• Images: adding alt text and/or image description is a good and simple way to improve accessibility! Here's how to implement alt text.
• Photosensitivity: freezeframe is a script that implements a play/pause button for gifs, which is very useful for pages with a lot of flashing images. Here's a guide to implementing it!
