@Radgryd @doubleaa @vga256 well, one can still have simple webdesign…

@kkarhan @doubleaa @vga256 Yeah, but that's not what I'm talking about. Back then the web in general looked different, and charming. It was the norm, which it isn't anymore nowadays. Now it's just niche.

@Radgryd @doubleaa @vga256 yeah, but we can at least build stuff like that still.

I mean, I prefer my sites slim, efficient and without bloat.

  • That doesn't mean they've to look like 1990s webdesign...

@Radgryd @doubleaa @vga256 I miss when Web developers/designers actually knew how to write HTML.

@tknarr @Radgryd @doubleaa @vga256

was that ever the case? My memory of the late nineties was a lot of Flash and sites made in that horrible “designer” (Publisher? what was the name?)

@Radgryd The times when Geocities was not yet sold to Yahoo but a quirky vivid community of "I make my web"!
