Why it matters

We'd rather stay small & independent

Your donation keeps html.design ad-free

We've turned down newsletter sponsorships, banner deals, and "partnerships" we didn't believe in. Donations are what lets us keep saying no.

If 2% of our readers gave $5 a year, we'd never need to accept another compromised deal. That's the whole math.

I donated after this one template saved a weekend of work on a client site. Five years later I still feel good about that decision. One of the few free things on the internet that actually stayed free. — Elena, supporter since 2020

Thank you, really.

Whether you donate $5 or $500 or just send a thank-you email — it keeps us going.
