CSS-Tricks is independent again after DigitalOcean’s 2022 purchase of the site, which Chris Coyier founded in 2007. Geoff Graham, who has worked on CSS-Tricks for 12 years, now owns it and is making it his full-time job, with a small team helping run the site. He expects the transition to bring changes, and describes the goal as building an inclusive community for people at every stage of learning front-end development. He sees the need for beginner-friendly resources as especially important amid a growing skills gap.

The site will continue publishing articles, though the target is one or two most weeks, and guest submissions are open again. Graham wants to give writers a platform rather than make the site primarily his own outlet, with his role focused on editing, supporting contributors, and building community. To fund the independent operation, CSS-Tricks will return to advertising and also offer memberships, a shop, and a beginner HTML/CSS course in development. The newsletter is set to return, too. Readers can support the site financially or by subscribing, sharing articles, visiting through RSS, and engaging with sponsors.
