Feels weird that we don’t do interviews on websites like we do interviews around art, music, or literature. Often, our interactions with websites obscure all the thought, labor & care that had gone into making them. A website carries countless fragments, files, texts, & links that you’ve written to display & share, each upload some act of intention—and so, the story of a website is your story as well. Websites are ever-changing, constantly in flux, and have likely went through thousands of iterations. From the process of learning how to code, picking your domain, all the time you spent bashing bugs, a little interaction you perfected, the bits you’ve hid, your influences, what your website hosts, what it used to host, your hopes for it…
I want people appreciate the nature of websites more, the care behind cultivating and maintaining them, thinking about them as art.

If you’re open to it, I also want to know the crevices of your site – unlinked pages only accessible by URL, secret folders, a website that lasted for a week, a file you dropped in to share with a friend and never really thought about again. Some interviews might focus more on the content of the website, others process, or the system and architecture behind it. There’s so much to digest. 

You could share ‘personal’ websites (blogs, portfolios, social platforms, newsletter archives?) or ‘net art’—anything that is or was a website. These websites don’t have to be ones that you ‘built’ yourself (maybe you can share a collection of blogs and how each one died). They don’t have to still exist. It would be a fun exercise to piece the remains of your website with whatever files you have left & the Internet Archive, making a new website out of its fragments. Maybe you would even be interested in sharing a download to your website. It could be a website that was only accessible through Beaker Browser, a website you made as a Neopets petpage ages ago, or something of that ilk. 

Let me interview you about your website(s) for websiteweb.site.
It will eventually live on a website about websites.

Let me know by DM or at hotemogirlfriend@gmail.com,
with the website(s) you’re thinking of sharing.
You can also suggest people I should interview.

If you want to help w interviews, lmk… I’m not the best solo editor or writer :( ´◦ω◦`) 
I also want to do website tours. Let me know if you’d like to lead a guided walk through your site(s). That would be sick too.Text reads:
