Site design circa 1996

A blast from … 1996!

Why do I have an outdated web site posted in my portfolio?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 in 2021! In the intervening decades virtually all of the technology has evolved, but because I built the site to high standards, most of it still works. Image maps? Haven’t built one of those in a decade or more. Tables for layout? How embarrassing! Javascript rollovers? These are…dated.

I don’t know another designer who has a web site old enough to drink, and while I certainly wouldn’t design it now, I’m proud of the fact it works. 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!
