The Power of Hand-Coded Websites
Since 1998, the campaign to promote the use of notepad and similar text-editors for web design has inspired countless individuals. This initiative encourages users to delve into the world of hand-coded websites, showcasing skills and creativity that are often lost in pre-designed templates. By embracing the original method of web design, users become empowered creators rather than passive consumers of website builders.
A Call to All Web Designers
Whether you are a seasoned web designer or a newcomer passionate about coding, utilizing simple text-editors like Notepad offers a unique advantage: the ability to understand the building blocks of your website. Knowing HTML and CSS not only enhances your design skills but also allows for greater control over the final product. This campaign welcomes anyone who prefers the directness of a hand-crafted web page over automated page-making programs.
Join the Movement
To show your commitment to this philosophy, consider adding a ‘Made with Notepad’ button to your website. By linking back to this campaign, you signal to visitors that you are not merely using click-by-click wizard websites but are genuinely knowledgeable about the coding skills that lie behind your site’s structure. Join the community of creators who take pride in their ability to code, and let the world know that there is truly no substitute for a web page designed and built by hand.
