I think it's easy to figure out that websites have drastically changed in terms of their appearance. The simple HTML and CSS looks dominated the internet for a long time but have disappeared over the years. Do you guys miss the simplicity of old sites?

And the good old days when websites were completely coded using tables, images and linked images. Oh my what a nostalgic feeling.
I know right? Back when people didn't add fancy graphic effects to their sites

I just see how bad the coding was back then, yeah looks good and amazing and yet was not super fast and loading time was just bad. If you know tour web developer then you can see how bad it was back then.

Do miss what they were and what was like back then. He;;, 2005 I had those good days

Oh yeah the coding was primitive, but in the days of static sites it at leadt felt more secure.

Back in the days websites were designed in photoshop, sliced and then just linked using tags. All of that just done using a table.

I am guilty myself, I started designing websites using tables until I understood CSS and the proper use of DIV tags. ?

Hahaha, well mine was back in 2010 I think. People were moving away from tables, and I was learning how to use tables ?
Oh damn! Haha! Still even so it was probably kinda cool looking at it and thinking... "Old school"

Haha, I had to soon learn CSS.

Check this out, Facebook, back in 2004. They used tables too. So nostalgic isn't it

Woah, that's quite cool actually. Never thought of using the Wayback Machine for popular sites lol. Kind of crazy to think the guy made the site back then to check out girls ?
