🎯 Web Design Fun Fact!
Did You Know? The First Website Is Still Online!
The world’s first website was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). It was a simple page explaining what the World Wide Web was and how to use it. Here’s the amazing part: you can still visit it today!
The original URL was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, and it contained just basic text with hyperlinks—no images, no CSS styling, no fancy animations. Just pure HTML explaining this revolutionary new way to share information.
Compare that first website to what we build today: responsive designs that adapt to any screen size, e-commerce capabilities, interactive features, video integration, and sophisticated SEO. We’ve come a long way in just over 30 years!
💡 Bonus Trivia:
- The first website had zero images—images weren’t supported on the web until 1993
- In 1991, there was only one website in the entire world. By the end of 1992, there were 10
- Today, there are over 1.9 billion websites online, though only about 400 million are active
- The average website from 1995 was about 14KB in size. Today’s average website is around 2.2MB—that’s over 150 times larger!
- The first ever photo uploaded to the web was in 1992, and it was a picture of a comedy band called Les Horribles Cernettes
At The Original PC Doctor, we honor the pioneering spirit of early web developers while using cutting-edge technology to create websites that would have seemed like science fiction in 1991!
