The Cheap Web

The cheap web is a solarpunk philosophy of web design.

cheap ≠ free Making nice things is difficult and time-consuming.

If we want people to make nice things for us, we have to pay for their rent and grocery bills and raw materials.

If you are spending less than $1 per hour on your entertainment (podcasts, videos, articles, games, books, etc.), consider finding ways to support creators and the infrastructure that supports them.

“cheap” is poor branding. “the open web” seems to fit this ideology better

  It’s not poor branding if the point you’re trying to make is that this stuff isn’t made for free.
