In the latest post in my web design history series, I look at Batman Forever, an influential 1995 website by @[email protected] and friends. Also, later in the year HTML tables arrive, along with early visual design tools FrontPage & PageMill. cybercultural.com/p/1995-web-d... #WebDesignHistory

Although the Web is technically limited in 1994, it is a fast-growing network and so curation quickly becomes a design problem. Enter Glenn Davis and his website, Cool Site of the Day. cybercultural.com/p/1994-cool-... #WebDesignHistory

Continuing Cybercultural's history of web design, we're still in 1993 but now we come to perhaps the world's first web designer: Jennifer Niederst Robbins. She designed O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator (GNN), which aimed to be an "online magazine". Not easy when you can't even control the colors on a web page! https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-global-network-navigator/ #WebDesignHistory
1993: Global Network Navigator and the first web designer

It's difficult to apply design to a website in 1993, but that doesn't stop O'Reilly & Associates from launching an 'online magazine' called GNN. Suddenly Jennifer Niederst, a book designer, has a new career.

In 1993, web design didn't really exist — you couldn't even change the background color of your web page from grey. But Mosaic launched the first era of visual web design with the IMG tag, and soon after an MTV VJ (@adam) improbably created one of the first commercial websites. https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-mtv-internet/ #WebDesignHistory
1993: Web Browsers Add Multimedia and MTV.com Goes Online

Mosaic adds an image tag for HTML and becomes the first modern web browser in 1993. Soon after, MTV VJ Adam Curry builds one of the world's first commercial websites — not that his bosses care.

Had a day off today and went to Hay-on-Wye (the UK’s book town) with my daughter. I managed to find a 2006 web design book, packed with screenshots. Anyone else a fan of the “Web Design Index by Content” books? #WebDesignHistory
