1
Set your terms
Create a Spotlight page describing what you accept: a banner on your site, a rotating image on your stream, whatever fits.
Community placements
Let your audience fund your site.
Supporter banners, community notices, in-jokes, livestream overlays: friendly, temporary placements paid for by the people who already visit your site, and approved by you. That is Spotlight.
Three steps, owner in control.
Spotlight is a page you set up once. Your audience does the rest, and nothing appears without your approval.
2
Share one link
Post the link where your community lives. Anyone can submit a contribution and pay for its slot.
3
Approve what you like
You see every submission first. Approve it and it runs for the agreed time; decline it and the contributor is refunded.
Personal, not programmatic
Spotlight is not built to min-max stats or race prices to the bottom. The people funding these placements already know the site, so the results tend to be things only a regular would think of. That is the point.
Free JavaScript only
We use minimal JavaScript, and what little we use is libre. Heavy scripts are a common attack vector, which is why the Free Software Foundation runs its FreeJS campaign. Liberads placements themselves use none at all.
Back a site you like
Fund a banner, buy a community notice, or get a running joke on the front page for a week. The owner approves it, you get the credit.
Give your community a way in
Installation is simple and the placements stay yours to approve. Your site keeps its personality, and your visitors get to add to it.
