1995 was the first time I used EDIT.EXE to write down a high level graphical thing (HTML) to be interpreted by a program (IE). I felt like god. Prior to that I only made pascal/asm shitty demos..

#12We could do a lot with 1993 and a modern stylesheet. I hope that's where we'll be in 2023...

#13I thought you wrote 'The Eurovision of Web Design'
I guess I saw too much TV lately.
It might be cool due

#14Prefer the text only version, at least it reflows.

#15Hilarious that it doesn’t work on phones. I guess this is only the evolution of web through 2009?
Yep. Mobile is the primary and indeed only way a lot of people access the internet now. Ludicrous that they just flat out reject those users! Web design/development from the past 5+ years absolutely requires specific, deliberate, and thoughtful support for mobile users.
On a serious note: “Mobile-first” was a rallying cry a few years ago - but all I remember are pages that didn’t work well on desktop, especially pages with above-the-fold (`height: 100vh;`) full-screen graphics or worse: videos. It’s cute on a handheld 480x640 display you can scroll-flick, but terrible at 2560x1440 with a mouse-wheel.

#16Very cool! For some reason, 2003 is loading blank for me.
Probably because 2003 requires Flash!
With the death of Flash comes the loss of a huge part of internet cultural history, mostly interactive parts - as at least flash cartoons can be rendered to video and put up on YouTube. There were a lot of innovative games and concepts on sites like MiniClip and Newgrounds.
I remember seeing a very early demo of a -based SWF player shortly after the iPhone came out - I wonder what would have happened to Flash if Adobe, Apple, or Google put effort into making it work the same way they did with the JavaScript-based PDF renderer.

#17ahah loved it, the frontpage two column and background theme really connected with me, having wrote my first website for grandpa in the 97
this made me wonder tho, 2015+ design are all specialized for sparse information and selling something. what would a modern content heavy site focused not on monetizing would look like today (say, a modern wikipedia of sort for timeless pieces)
said site was brought to 2010 levels of design but got stuck there due how the modern template are not suited for such things

#18Now if I could just get this slider onto every website, and keep it locked at 1993. :)
it's pretty much how I see the web thanks to umatrix
Re: The Evolution of Web Design (2016)
#19You know what? I prefer the very first one. But then I am strange I admit.
Re: The Evolution of Web Design (2016)
#20So the evolution is more about aesthetics than format or anything else!
