Is it too early to go retro and build a web 1.0 site yet? You know – just to be cool. Like wearing 60’s clothes in the 60’s was really cool. Wearing them in the 70’s was NOT, then wearing them a few decades later was really cool again.
So my question is, when will it become cool (in a retro way) to design a web 1.0 website? Or better yet, since there are so many web 1.0 websites still around, a web 0.1 website. Think animated gif’s, jarring colors, lots of frames, maybe even some embedded midi’s.
I’m only suggesting this because it’s getting harder and harder to be cutting edge. Things online are evolving so rapidly, you always have to think of a new “hip” angle. Why not retro? That’s cool. And hip. Right?

I wish I built my sites retro – they just happen that way as I ant good enought o build them another way
How about going 1994 retro, with that old textured Mosaic gray?
I have the second site I built back then, but I’m still pissed off I didn’t keep the code from my very first web page. It’s kind of like my classic Mac, I just wanna keep it forever.

That would be cool to have. I think I still have my first website from 1999 on a floppy disk somewhere. It was a t-shirt shop in frames with a horrible blue background pattern.
