GoKawiilDesign historian catalogs the first web page styles from 1993
A design professor has compiled a list of the earliest recognizable web design trends from 1993, tracing them back to the pre-boom era of the World Wide Web following Tim Berners-Lee's original 1991 page at CERN. The analysis distinguishes genuine web-native design conventions, born from the technology and culture of the time, from styles simply imported from other media. It highlights how amateur creators in the mid-1990s shaped distinctive visual genres unique to the early web.
