Friendly reminder that Wix.com is an Israeli-based company (& some website builders to look into instead)

I know the BDS movement is not targeting Wix.com specifically (see here for the companies they're currently boycotting) but since Wix originated in Israel as early as 2006, it would be best to drop them as soon as you can.

And while you're at it, you should leave DeviantArt too, since that company is owned by Wix. I deleted my DA account about a year ago not just because of their generative AI debacle but also because of their affiliation with their parent company. And just last month, DA has since shown their SUPPORT for Israel in the middle of Israel actively genociding the Palestinian people 😬

Anyway, I used to use Wix and I stopped using it around the same time that I left DA, but I never closed my Wix account until now. What WAS nice about Wix was how easy it was to build a site with nothing but a drag-and-drop system without any need to code.

So if you're using Wix for your portfolio, your school projects, or for anything else, then where can you go?

Here are some recommendations that you can look into for website builders that you can start for FREE and are NOT tied to a big, corporate entity (below the cut) 👇👇

Carrd.co

This is what I used to build my link hub and my portfolio, so I have the most experience with this platform.

It's highly customizable with a drag-and-drop arrangement system, but it's not as open-ended as Wix. Still though, it's easy to grasp & set up without requiring any coding knowledge. The most "coding" you may ever have to deal with is markdown formatting (carrd provides an on-screen cheatsheet whenever you're editing text!) and section breaks (which is used to define headers, footers, individual pages, sections of a page, etc.) which are EXTREMELY useful.

There's limits to using this site builder for free (max of 2 websites & a max of 100 elements per site), but even then you can get a lot of mileage out of carrd.

mmm.page

This is a VERY funny & charming website builder. The drag-and-drop system is just as open-ended as Wix, but it encourages you to get messy. Hell, you can make it just as messy as the early internet days, except the way you can arrange elements & images allows for more room for creativity.

Straw.page

This is an extremely simple website builder that you can start from scratch, except it's made to be accessible from your phone. As such, the controls are limited and intentionally simple, but I can see this being a decent website builder to start with if all you have is your phone. The other options above are also accessible from your phone, but this one is by far one of the the simplest website builders available.

Hotglue.me

This is also a very simple & rudimentary website builder that allows you to make a webpage from scratch, except it's not as easy to use on a mobile phone.

At a glance, its features are not as robust or easy to pick up like the previous options, but you can still create objects with a simple double click and drag them around, add text, and insert images or embeds.

Mind you, this launched in the 2010s and has likely stayed that way ever since, which means that it may not have support for mobile phone displays, so whether or not you wanna try your hand at building something on there is completely up to you!

Sadgrl's Layout Editor

sadgrl.online is where I gathered most of these no-code site builders! I highly recommend looking through the webmaster links for more website-building info.

This simple site builder is for use on Neocities, which is a website hosting service that you can start using for free. This is the closest thing to building a site that resembles the early internet days, but the sites you can make are also responsive to mobile devices! This can be a good place to start if this kind of thing is your jam and you have little to no coding experience.

Although I will say, even if it sounds daunting at first, learning how to code in HTML and CSS is one of the most liberating experiences that anyone can have, even if you don't come from a website scripting background. It's like cooking a meal for yourself. So if you want to take that route, then I encourage to you at least try it!

Most of these website builders I reviewed were largely done at a glance, so I'm certainly missing out on how deep they can go.

Oh, and of course as always, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

links to help you actually learn and understand what happened in Israel on October 7

a site that collects the October 7th survivors' stories.

an Instagram profile that also collected survivors stories.

Yoseph Hadad - an Arab-Israeli who shows what it is like to be an Arab in Israel. also explains the situation.

Israel on Twitter - the official account of the state of Israel.

Stand With Us - a nonprofit organization that fights antisemitism.

4IL - an Instagram page for Hasbara (explanation).

Visit2Israel - explains, simplifies and updates on what is happening.

I do warn you - the stories are graphic, there will be graphic pictures. but this is the situation Israel is in, and there are so many stories to share that me, as a sole person here, just cannot bring you all on my own.

SHARE THIS PLEASE, LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO US

hey i found something interesting about the 4*town website.

according to this website, it says the 4*town website launched on 27th february 2022 and was archived on 16th april 2023.

btw archiving is collecting and storing data from the internet, keeping it in an archive and making it available for future reference 👍🏾

Random Ramble:

Huh, apparently on certain sites, mass reblogging and liking someone’s posts can lead to shadow-banning for the account (receiving the likes and reblogs) for some odd reason? I used to put-off whenever someone says that in their bio, but that now makes a lot more sense… though I still think some are being way too aggressive in wording.

Likewise, you doing so can cause the algorithm to mistake you to be a spam bot and get shadow-banned as well. Please take what I said with a pinch of salt however, I only heard from word of mouth (and if you have any other information regarding this, please feel free to add on).

#frosty babbles #algorithm #sites #citation needed #also I’m aware mass reblogging either goes by a different name or is something else entirely but we’re on Tumblr sooooo…

I feel like the tbosas fandom is gonna pop back up when the movie gets put on streaming platforms in I think may? Cause then it’ll be easily accessible again for people who wanna rewatch or people who haven’t seen it yet! And with Tom and Rachel’s upcoming stuff it’ll probably boost it too!

oh yeah definitely!!! I know the billy fandom will rise again once season 2 part 2 comes out as well lmao

#asks #im gonna be depending on the people to put Billy the kid s2 pt2 on certain #sites #so I can watch asap #also #probably next time tom does any sort of press tour as well #there might be influx of new fans and all that
