Description: A brief video about the web from Webbed Briefs

We (I) are (am) proud to announce our (my) new no-code website building tool. And we (I) are (am) very sorry indeed.

These things take a solid frickin’ week to make so, if you’re able, support me on Open Collective or buy a T-shirt or hoodie! Or maybe just leave a small tip.

Introducing Webbed Sites: Everything you need to build and publish your website, without having to write a single line of code.

Just paste your existing design into your Webbed Sites account. From there, your state of the art AI assistant, Martin, takes over.

Martin was trained on a selected corpus of uncensored Hentai, Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and the source code of Microsoft Frontpage 98. He knows everything a late middle-aged Java programmer knows about coding websites.

In mere moments, Martin processes all your design assets, including your buttons, your links and your headings, and coverts them, magically, into <div>s.

But not just <div>s, of course! There are also <div>s next to <div>s, <div>s inside other <div>s, and <div>s outside <div>s that have <div>s inside them. Our builder also has the capability for <div>s with nonconforming href attributes and <div>s with superfluous and incompatible aria-labels.

Webbed Sites: The no code website building platform that really hopes you like…

<div>s.

Since launching Webbed Sites we've received a lot of feedback. Firstly, I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to reach out. Your comments are highly valued and appreciated. And secondly, I just want to say we are deeply sorry. The accessibility of Webbed Sites is not where it should be right now and that's on us, the Webbed Sites team.

We know we’ve let you down, and it hurts. But please believe us when we say that we’d never deliberately rush out an inaccessible release, to save time and money, at the expense of disabled web users. We just didn’t deliberately not rush out a release, to save time and money, at the expense of disabled users, either. Disableds are a priority to us, and always have been. In fact, many of my wives are disabled. Some since before I even met them.

I don't really know what else to say. It's not an excuse, of course, but please understand that we were under a lot of pressure and had very little time. Plus, of course, we had an enormous surfeit of…

<div>s.
