Real sites, real people.
A coaching practice. A trinket box on a Berkeley sidewalk. A family cookbook. A park down the street. Real people, real sites. Want sample prompts to get started? →
Lani Marsden Coaching & Consulting.
Coaching and consulting for diverse voices, grounded in authenticity and somatic work. Their site, in their voice.
lanimarsden.com →A coaching site that feels like you.
Quiet, personal, specific to her work. Built in one conversation — now live at her own domain. elizapatten.com
elizapatten.com →A realtor site with real art direction.
Two realtors, 300+ career sales, a 20-year partnership. Warm, distinctive, nothing like a template.
rosebraillardteam.com →Berkeley Trinket Trade.
A take-a-trinket, leave-a-trinket box on a Berkeley sidewalk. The site explains the deal, what's allowed in the box, and points to the worldwide Sidewalk Joy movement it's part of. A small thing made public.
berkeleytrinkettrade.com →A cookbook hand-typed by your family.
124 recipes typed by the Vestals and Chesters in the 1980s, photocopied and mailed to relatives in three-hole-punched binders. Now living online with the family voice preserved.
chester-vestal-cookbook.plinth.page →Games for your kid, your group chat.
A word search with a kid's friends' names rainbow-coded across the grid. A trivia game so brutally hard the group chat won't stop arguing. Made to delight one specific person. They count too.
Willard Park — an ode to the park down the street.
Not a business. Not a service. Just love for a place, made public. Built by neighbors, for neighbors.
willard-park.plinth.page →Most websites should be a thing one person makes for free — the way you’d make a zine or a flyer. The web used to feel that way. It can again.
- → A bedtime tracker for your toddler — or yourself
- → A word search with your kid’s friends’ names in it, or a trivia game only your people would win
- → An ode to a place you love — the park down the street, the library that raised you
- → A recipe collection of every dish your grandmother made — your abuela, your nani, your halmeoni — with the stories
- → An RSVP page for your cousin’s backyard wedding, your sister’s quinceañera, or the iftar potluck at the mosque
- → A landing page for the class your friend is teaching at the community center
- → A memory page for someone who passed — a place family can leave their stories
None of these need to make money. None need to last forever. They’re all real websites. They’re all free.
