Did you know that first web page was published in 1991?, Yes, That was about 20 years ago. But, you can still access the original page. As you can see, at that time the web page still looks very simple with minimalist design.
The first of web page is text-based website. However, The evolution of web design is start from here. Web design has evolved and will continue to change. And I think, The design of my site will look like “ancient” within ten years if i not follow web design trend.
Just to refresh our memory, I make the list of 30 most popular websites in the world and we will see their design from the past.

This is really great. Good times.
woww, I never seen any of it before. This is amazing, how do you find all of them? Good old time 🙂
@zerolinesofcode Couldn’t agree. Not one is designed acceptably, thank god we moved on from visually tragic 90s.
simplicity, a major thing not cherished anymore… Golden ages of simplicity. Miss the era
One thing to say there is not much changed with deviantart and wikipaedia.
