w. is the preferred subdomain for smolweb sites

2025-04-20

A simple way for a website to indicate that it adheres to the smolweb guidelines is to use the subdomain w instead of www. This short subdomain is very much in the spirit of smolweb.

This is not a requirement, just a suggestion.

w.example.org is visually different from www.example.org or example.org.
