90s web design wasn't just geocities. In fact most web designs were more usable because they were designed only for desktop and almost always a single screen size. And there was no lack of pretty ones, beauty that was less uniform than it is today.

My favourite website that still has the 90s aesthetic and more-or-less survives is hyperreal.org, website about rave culture

http://hyperreal.org

most of the links even still work. Listen to all these DJ sets! (in a horrible Real Audio codec)

http://djsets.hyperreal.org

See how to be a DJ in 1993!

See some random pictures from 1997!

I am not at all a rave person, yet somehow seeing this website seems so... comfy

One of my favorite '90s humor sites, RinkWorks Book-A-Minute, is still online. They kept updating until 2012. http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/

My god, Rink works. I remember them having one of the first "Tech Support Humor" sites way back in the day(1997?), and just casual glancing saw updates from around 2020 the pandemic so I guess they're still going.
