Web homes.

A web home is a personal web site, analogous to an actual home. Web homes are enduring remnants of the early World Wide Web, from before the first wave of social media platforms, when personal interest, sharing of knowledge, and sharing of the imagination were among the main reasons to explore it.

Web homes are expressions and reflections of their owners, often constructed and maintained by them. As with one who fulfils a longtime dream of building their home, this is an act of active enthusiasm, care, and creativity. Like homes, they are regarded by their owners and visitors as a "place." Like homes, they are meant to welcome, set a tone, and offer ideas.

Web homes are created for whomever wants to visit them, and they need not ever bother whomever doesn't.

Many web homes will outlive their owners, allow the owners to "live on" in them, and allow others from the future to visit and know them.

The World Wide Web is big enough for everyone to have a home.
