Great idea but your website seems to be using very old style. Its not working properly on mobile.
We are now working on the new version of Web Design Museum, which will be better optimized for mobile phones.

#13Looking at these older websites (for me thats 1996—2002) I remember spending a lot of my time on figuring out how they really worked underneath it all.
It was truly an exciting time where the differences in design and style for websites were big.
Today, you don't really see personal websites anymore, and things have somehow become streamlined and pretty much just standard. There is hardly any wow effect on the web anymore, and that's sad I think.

On the other hand, Web standards makes it easier to use the Web.

#17looks like the site is crashing...
Adobe's old web sites still look quite good.

#18This is pretty cool! Where are you getting these images from?
I would love to see this expanded to different genres of sites too. I've noticed that (niche) fashion websites have their own aesthetic that is a bit divorced from the mainstream. I'm sure we're all aware that Asian design trends are also very different.

That must be why I have 3 dofferent browsers installed in case a website doesn't work on one of them.

People still have personal websites, but they are rarely designed in any special way. Easier to use something that works.
And the distribution networks greatly penalize personal websites. Anything to stop your friends and followers from clicking away from The Platform. It's sad and I believe has killed many a promising blog.
Also this joke has a lot of truth to it: Which of the 2 possible websites are you currently designing? https://twitter.com/jongold/status/694591217523363840?lang=e...
