The biggest drawback of sites from this era is they don't reflow on mobile screens. On a desktop they still work as well as they ever did. I'm still searching for a good WYSIWYG HTML composer that can generate clean, responsive pages. Seems like this is a problem where there isn't sufficient incentive for the big tech companies to tackle, and the only s/w that seems to come close is BlueGriffon.

You need a dev team implementing Agile for react-native-ux with CI/CD capabilities and devops.

Well, I'm not so sure -- have you tried viewing that site via a WAP proxy? That's the 2002 way to solve the problem.

That's a client side problem, not a server side problem. The rendering and presentation of a webpage are entirely up to the client, absolutely nothing dictates that a page should look a certain way on a certain client.

There are a ton of attributes in the HTML that dictates how the website should render - it has a bgcolor and a margin on the body tag, a width and height on the main table, center tags all over the place, etc. Suggesting that a browser should ignore the HTML spec and do something else would completely destroy the web.

There’s so many italian old italian sites with this design My favorite in High Scool was http://ripmat.it That site is the only reason I managed to learn Math school

Those backgrounds are fantastic. Just right arrowing through them... is a trip. http://ripmat.it/mate/a/ac/ac5.html

This is hilarious! Turns out 18 year old websites were mobile friendly after all

Have you actually tried the site on a mobile device? It's impossible to read the text and navigation is hell. Wouldn't classify that as "mobile friendly".
