Come learn how to make your own personal website on Neocities No prior programming or web design experience needed.

We're a queer- and furry-inclusive group of artists, makers, designers, and developers who like building cool stuff on the web for fun. We miss when the web was a space for creativity and self-expression—people building silly little personal sites just for the fun of it. We want to revive that tradition and show you that anyone can make a website.

In the first half of this workshop we'll build a basic web page together with HTML and CSS. In the second half you'll have time to build something on your own, and we'll be around if you want help. If you need a laptop or have any accessibility needs we can accommodate, please let us know!

We're part of AnthroVille Studios, an up-and-coming art studio, makerspace, and community gathering space cooperative set to open our doors in the CamberVille area in 2026.

Please RSVP With this Form!

Fabville Openshop hours will continue as normal this day, be prepared to be quiet to respect the workshop.
