Published 5 months ago in Wow

Though today's websites may be defined by minimalist designs, the remaining glimpses of terrible Corporate Memphis art, and a million boxes asking when and how we want big tech to mine our data - the internet looked a whole lot different in the 1990s. Just take a look at these neon-colored, unapologetically futuristic landing pages of yesteryear. 


From the first website in internet history to early iterations of Apple and eBay's home pages, here are 11 landing pages from the 1990s that'll have you restarting your dial-up.
