One of the most prolific and well-known music reviewers - Pierro Scaruffi - has a website built in 1995 with a design not updated much, or at all, since: https://www.scaruffi.com

Imagine stumbling upon an old-fashioned website, reading it is maintained by the CTO of Cloudflare, of all people.
I think from time to time that I should completely change it and update it. But I can't really be bothered, Cloudflare takes a lot of my time.
I have five different models of ESP8266 and ESP32s scattered across my desk along with Dupont wires, assorted sensors and a soldering iron, breadboards etc. Its a great way of taking your mind off the daily grind - my job title is MD.
My favorite like this site is http://www.burger.com - this dude has a hilarious array of hobbies and awesome beveled button links.

They mean USD $25,000 and not $25.

My personal/hobby business web site ( https://www.rlvision.com ) is based on code 22 years ago. It's built with tables, because that's how you did things back then. The age shows. But I haven't found reason to rebuild it yet. Simply put, it works. It may not be mobile friendly, but the goal is to make available my Windows software, so my aim is desktop users.
I missed the tools like FrontPage/DreamWaver and gorgeous Flash websites.
Agreed. The modern-day version of those would be Scratch ( https://scratch.mit.edu/ ) which kids use to start exploring coding, but it's not the same.
I really hope something comes along that reinvigorates the public's interest in creating content that resides on their own website, rather than a walled-garden social media account.
These simple sites show us something profound: If you want something to last, don't base it on something that won't last. There are a some technologies that will never allow somebody to build a site and leave it unchanged for 20 or 25 years. Cold Fusion comes to mind. Almost nobody hosts it anymore for one. Can you imagine running the same WordPress version for 25 years? The version of PHP it runs on will be EOL long…
> If you want something to last, don't base it on something that won't last. and > I guess what I'm saying is that if you want to build a site to last 25 years without numerous redesigns, build a static HTML page. While simplicity is a great way to future proof things, I'm not convinced that this argument in general would work nearly as well without the benefit of hindsight. One could be forgiven for confusing it wit…
I've thought about this on and off for a few years. Here's what I've come up with:
1. Popularity. You can't really display anything in a web browser without it, blank pages with one AJAX script notwithstanding.
2. Ease of use. Open a text editor, type some markup, save the file with .html, and open in a browser. When you're done, transfer to a server to show the world. That's a pretty straightforward process.
3. Well-defined, open standard. Every important piece of the web is defined, from the markup to the protocol to transfer it. I think that reasonably bug-free implementations of those standards help.
