Basic HTML was used to create pages with text and images. No interactivity or dynamic content.

The Early Days (1990s)

[{"selector":"#anim-86a0fe30-bd59-49ca-8676-18b2dd4e2889 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(13.571273915076548%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fbd450d5-7f73-4151-9c12-19b5c07b2794","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-679b5e84-f6e3-4d51-843f-1ab3d7ed711e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f55a45ad-226f-4645-9ca4-dbe520fdfc41","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 1054.07396%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53f5ff93-64f6-4401-8260-4cc43414b042","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":900,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allowed for better design control. Separation of content and design made websites more visually appealing. Designers could now create consistent styles across multiple pages.

Dynamic Content (Early 2000s)
