Why do I have an outdated web site posted in my portfolio? Because I built this web site in 1996 and it’s still online! Other than a few things that have been disabled over the years, the code all still works. Image maps? Haven’t built one of those in a decade or more. Tables for layout? How embarrassing! Javascript rollovers? Well…those are still around.
I don’t know another designer who has a teenage web site on the web, and while I certainly wouldn’t design it now, I’m proud of the fact it’s still working! I’m still using the same philosophy I used then: keep it simple and clean, focus on accessibility and cross-browser compatibility, and you’ll have a robust resilient site.
I just never expected to have one that was nearly old enough to vote!
