Forget modern-day IDEs with auto-complete and fancy visual editors; we had one raw, unfiltered tool: Notepad. Tables weren’t just for organizing content; they were the backbone of our chaotic, pixelated masterpieces. Need a header? Put it in a table. Need an image? Wrap it in a table. The whole page was basically one giant table, nested within another, like some sort of digital Russian nesting doll. And don’t even get us started on the tag – nothing said “professional website” like a scrolling text that made your visitors’ eyes twitch. But hey, it worked – sort of. Sure, it may have looked like a 1990s fever dream, but we all felt like coding wizards with our hand-coded HTML and stylish (completely unresponsive) tables. Then, of course, you’d connect via dial-up, waiting for that glorious sound of screeching beeps before you could even think about loading a page. Old Skool Web Design.
Old Skool
Ah, the good old days of web design – when websites were proudly constructed using HTML, tables, and the dependable Notepad.
