Neocities Dev is a loving tribute to the handmade personal site movement — the kind of page you’d find on Neocities today or GeoCities decades ago, where every windowed panel feels like it was placed with care and the whole design radiates the joy of making something for yourself. It brings that DIY-web energy directly into a portfolio format built for modern deployment.Documentation Index

Theme Overview
Neocities Dev takes its inspiration from the indie personal site communities that flourished on platforms like Neocities — spaces where handmade web design is celebrated and personality is the primary design principle. The layout presents content through windowed panels that simulate a desktop environment layered with open browser windows, each one holding a different section of the portfolio. The overall presentation is playful and warm, drawing on old-web conventions like decorative dividers, compact content blocks, and the cheerful chaos of a well-loved personal page. It’s a theme that wears its influences openly and proudly.Design Highlights

- Desktop-and-browser hybrid layout that creates a layered, immersive experience
- Decorative interface details that reinforce the handmade personal-site aesthetic
- A warm, inviting visual tone that feels as human as the community that inspired it
Who This Theme Suits
Neocities Dev is ideal for developers, designers, and digital creatives who are active members of the indie web community or simply want their portfolio to reflect a genuine love of personal-site culture. It suits front-end developers, web artists, hobbyist coders, and anyone whose online presence is as much about who they are as what they’ve built — people who believe the personal web is worth celebrating.Neocities Dev’s windowed panel structure naturally accommodates small, decorative personal touches — consider adding a “now playing” section, a visitor counter spirit, or a small links blogroll to honor the theme’s community roots.
