You need to offer something banal for download with a spinning stiffy disk gif.
@ajsadauskas@aus.social @asklemmy@lemmy.ml I think I actually have a few of my 90s-era sites archived. One of them should have an auto play midi for the background music. I'll see if I can dig it up!

@ajsadauskas@aus.social @asklemmy@lemmy.ml uh, nice vibes!
The problem is the MIDI file doesn't automatically play.
One of those Java applets at the bottom that looks like water reflecting the site background perhaps?
@ajsadauskas @asklemmy (Trying to remember my own GeoCities site from back then), Many had a βbest viewed on Netscapeβ icon
I think mine had mostly my own song lyrics, with a different background for each page, with a menu page and forward/back links on each lyrics page.
Were frames 90s? Friend of mine used frames to make his site look like a console from Star Trek TNG
Yep frames were html 4.0 :o)
Nice project. I like the nostalgia. π
After some searching I learned that Tripod and Angelfire still exist today as web hosting providers. Your page could have a few more Under construction signs here and there.
Add a guest book a page vist counter and a web ring
You need to add some text with the RuneScape glow1:wave: text effect
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy Looks amazing!
My only question is about whether drop shadows on text was prominent. Iβm having trouble remembering how that effect would have been accomplished in the 90s, since I donβt think CSS got it until later. Would it have been something on the <font> tag only supported in Internet Explorer?
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy As for chat, probably the best way to do that today is to use Web Sockets but style it to look like frames or a Java applet on the page.
The cat art style doesnt look 90ish to me
Check out maya.land. especially webmentions.
I don't know how to tag a user on lemmy. Is maya still around?
I'm also a big fan of confusing landing pages.
