RESOURCES
this page is dedicated to providing resources to those looking to create a website and to decorate it accordingly. i've collected these from wandering around aimlessly and some of these are honestly just pretty well-known. it'll update whenever i find something worth adding!
ALSO DON'T FORGET TO READ AND RESPECT THE TERMS OF USE FOR EACH WEBSITE
SOZAI (japanese web materials)
note: these sites are IN JAPANESE but i, being easily defeated in the language by even the youngest of mere preschoolers born and raised in japan, have just enough wrinkles on my brain to be clever enough to solve the puzzle of navigating such sites. that being said, you generally want to find the "material" tab and pay attention to link urls, which are often in english and/or romanji. some sites are sneaky (i assume to stop people who think they can just skip over their terms of use) and have specific ways of allowing access to materials that are hidden in said terms of use. my advice? google translate. if right clicking doesn't work, just ctrl+c and put the text into the translator. some of these sites are very very old, and may not be around in a few years, but as of making this page (june 2021) the ones linked here are functional.
ENGLISH SITES
these sites are in english and also have things you can use for your website.
