Still up. Still exactly like that.

-
A Norwegian shop whose homepage is every product at once, at every size, in every direction. Maximalism before the word; you will feel seasick and come back.
-
One of the richest companies on earth has a homepage that looks like a 1997 text file and I have never been happier with a website. No complaints. Logging it as a complaint anyway, for the record: it is too good.
-
One HTML file, hundreds of stylesheets, each a different website. The 2003 demonstration that design is a layer. Still the best argument for learning CSS.
-
A presidential campaign website from 1996, still served. The campaign ended; the page did not. Read it for the layout, not the policy.
-
The Flash cartoon site that defined a decade of bedroom animation, still updating now and then, playable again through Ruffle. Email the strong one.
-
A UK car-leasing business whose site is a riot of animated GIFs, marquees, and a proprietor who wants you to know she is in charge. Sincerely commercial and sincerely unhinged.
-
The portal where amateur Flash games and cartoons were born in the late nineties; it never left, and now runs the old ones in an emulator.
-
A free shell account on a community UNIX system running since 1987. Log in with a terminal, make a homepage, talk to people on 'com'. The oldest neighborhood still taking residents.
-
The promotional site for a 1996 film, kept online by its studio in its original form: tiled star background, planets for navigation, 'Jam Central'. The reference specimen of the species.
-
Thousands of text files from the BBS era: manuals, rants, stories, phreaking, ASCII art. The pre-web, kept exactly as it was typed.
-
A million pixels sold for a dollar each in 2005, as a student's tuition plan. The grid is still up; most of the links behind it are not, which makes it a map of the dead web too.
-
One image, one sound, one line of text, looping. The 2004 format that proved a joke only needs three ingredients. Still looping.
-
You can do anything at Zombo.com. The only limit is yourself. Welcome. A 1999 Flash loop, rebuilt in HTML5 so the welcome never has to end.
