This repository is for sharing information about building decentralized websites. It contains starter templates and resources for deploying websites to IPFS. The goal of this repository is to contribute examples for building all types of decentralized websites and to maintain an up-to-date list of resources for decentralized web development.

Add your template
We'd love to make your templates available on Unstoppable Domains' website builder.
To add a new template simply fork this repo, add your templates into templates/community, and submit a PR with your update.
- Add comments to whatever text, styles, or images that should be customized
- Make sure all relevant css & font files are included. Sites should be fully decentralized and not rely on any APIs for styles
- Do not use any trademarked or copyrighted assets without permission. If you want to use it, you have to ensure that you have the legal right to do so. If applicable add a footer with any necessary accreditation
- We encourage you to add an author signature to the footer of your template
- You can also follow this tutorial video

In the (templates/unstoppable-domains)[templates/unstoppable-domains] directory you will find all of the templates available on the Unstoppable Domains website builder feature. In the index.html files for each template directory you will find comments pointing to the items we use for updating in the website builder.
- The inline CSS styles are the options available to update in the website builder
- SVG Icons are inlined so that colors can be updated
Hosting a website on IPFS is slightly different than hosting it on a web server out in the cloud. Your website may require a little bit of tweaking in order to properly be served on the IPFS network.
The important rules are:
- All of the content for your website must be contained in one build folder, with an index.html file.
- All links within your files should be relative links.

- Checkout the examples to find and update a template that you like.
- Once you've finished with your site, you can deploy to pinata by using our deploy script or another IPFS tool like ipfs-deploy
- Once you've gotten your IPFS hash attach it to your domain
- Check out your site using our tools, Chrome Extension or Decentralized Browser. You can also find your site on ViewBlock.
