Looking at the Retro Web
We only know a little HTML so far, so... but we do know enough to create a simple HTML-based card. I'll also provide y'all with a few extra videos here and there to help y'all.
We're focusing on retro techniques right now, so let's take a glimpse into the retro web before we go further.
Web Design over Time
The web today does not look like the web of the past. This may seem obvious, but do you know how much it has changed? I'd be surprised if so. Let's take a look.
web-design-over-time.mp4Despite how much time has passed, there are some retro-web websites that are still available... although with time, the number is decreasing.
Go here to check out the first website ever made...
World Wide Web Project
It's not very exciting...
Half a decade later though, the original Space Jam movie came out- it's website is still online, you can still check it out.
1996's Space Jam Website
Jurassic Park & the Lost World
Most movies had websites, so Space Jam wasn't particularly special... although it did have a LOT of content on the site. A really cool one though was Jurassic Park's website. This was still available online until just a few years ago.

Are you aware of the Captain Marvel movie from about 10 years ago? The whole movie plays on lots of nostalgia for the 90's; the period of time the early web developed. They did the same with their website, which you can still visit.
Check out the Captain Marvel 90's Website to get a feel for what a lot of the web felt like in the late 1990s.
