Websites from the ‘90s
Serge K. Keller’s album of screenshots from the early days of the web took me right back. Remember when all web pages were grey, with Times New Roman stretching from one side of the screen to the other?
Most of the sites in Serge’s collection are from the first generation of sites where the word 'design' could be used in the same sentence as 'web'. And at the time, they seemed great— wow, look at those colours. But, looking back... well, what do you think? Here are a few more screenshots, from my own internet archives. Can you guess the year?
Apple
Boston.com
Chicago Tribune
CNet
Cool Site of the Day
Labour Party
Yes, those are some of the better-looking sites from 1997. None of our own work here—that’ll be another post.
