Ah how the humble website has changed. From the gaudy 16 bit colours to the marqueeing text, the technology has advanced with the introduction of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and the increasing power of browsers to parse HTML and AJAX.
Yahoo in Dec, 1996
Check out Internet Archive! Simply enter a website address into the search box then a list of the screenshot dates available are displayed then take a step back into the past! The image above shows Yahoo in Dec 1996, 3 years before Google went into Beta and before the use of a table format.
Warning: Do not follow any website design conventions from before 2000.
