Learn the Basics
- sadgrl.online I'm sure you already know this one but I highly recommend. Has a lot of tutorials on basic webmastery.
- w3schools good website with interactive tutorials to teach you about web design. It has an index of all the functions you can do with html + css and walks you through them quite easily. I use it a lot when I don't know what I'm doing.
- mozilla html/css reference
Site Builders
websites that let you generate a custom html template. you won't need any experience to start with this but you'll need to learn some basic html and css to make any extra tweaks or to change it around once it's made.- sadgrl's layout builder. These look pretty basic but they're workable.
- straw.page
- mmm.page /
- hotglue.me

Tumblr Theme Blogs
There are a lot of free and varied themes on tumblr*. The catch is that they're designed for Tumblr and won't work out of the box if you bring 'em here. You can get around this easily if you know what parts of code to strip out (things that only work on there, like the reblog function). Stripping it down to the html + css will give you a nice theme without much work. However, please respect the wishes of the designers + give credit. a few specifically say not to use their themes off of tumblr. on the other end some specifically design their themes for neocities as well as tumblr. it's good Net Etiquette TMFonts
I wouldn't recommend hotlinking to Google Fonts. Even though it's easy to use, they take your site data and god knows what else. Downloading the fonts would still be fine, however. Probably.- How to Add Custom Fonts
- Dafont Font download website.
- Fontmeme Another font website, except it has a lot of fonts from games & movies.
- online fonts you would never guess it, but these fonts are online. i like that it tags usage license well.
- Coolors Fonts
- fonts by womxn
- velvetyne really sick display fonts
Colors
- *color-hex Personal fave for finding colors since it gives you a lot of helpful information and shades and highlights. You can also make palettes.
- *randoma11y bicolor color scheme generator with an emphasis on readability
- adobe color wheel Lets you make a palette using color theory.
- paletton pretty much the same thing as the adobe one.
- image palette extractor Lets you upload an image to get its colors.
- html color namesthere are 140 named rgb color values, here's a reference sheet
- coolors
- colourpod
Site Widgets
- *Scripted Resources Lotsa different stuff
- SCM Music Player Versatile, easy to add music player. I like this one especially because it takes Youtube links and is just drag + drop code. If you want to restyle it (most of the skins are kinda ugly) then you can create a new .css file for it to reference to.
- webamp personally the bane of my existence but objectively the most advanced audio widget one could have on a site. more complicated setup than SCM by a mile
- numbpill's guide to making blinkies and buttons
- Hekate2 Button Maker Make a linkable 88x31 button for your site!
- *ritual.sh Button Maker another 88x31 button maker, my favorite because it has animation.
