What is a Webring?

A webring is a collection of websites linked together in a circular structure. Each site connects to the next and previous sites, forming an endless loop of discovery.

Click "Next" on any member site and you'll travel to another site in the ring. Keep clicking and eventually you'll return to where you started, having discovered dozens of interesting sites along the way.

Webrings were popular in the early web (1990s–2000s) before search engines dominated discovery. Today, they're making a comeback as people seek alternatives to algorithm-driven content.

Why Webrings Matter

Human Curation Every site in this ring is reviewed and approved by a real person. No algorithms, no SEO games, no sponsored content: just genuine recommendations.
Serendipitous Discovery Unlike search engines that show you what you're looking for, webrings help you find what you didn't know existed. Stumble onto something unexpected.
Community Over Platforms Members own their sites. No corporate platform controls the content, harvests data, or decides what you see. The web as it was meant to be.
Quality Over Quantity A small, curated collection beats an infinite feed. Every site here earned its place through genuine merit, not engagement metrics.

How It Works

  1. Join: Submit your site for review. Tell us about yourself and your site.
  2. Get Approved: A human reviews your site to ensure it fits the community.
  3. Add the Widget: Place a small navigation snippet on your site with Previous/Random/Next links.
  4. Connect: Visitors can now travel between your site and others in the ring.
