Back into the 90s Internet – My first website

Yesterday I found a box of old backups in a corner of the basement. By old, I mean that some of these backups have around 25 years under their belt. I was surprised what I found there …

One of these old backups actually contained the complete source code of my very first website. It dates back to 10.05.1996 and even contains the original URL where it was accessible at that time.

Well, you can argue about design – but this page can objectively and rightly be called abysmally ugly and embarrassing… Regardless of this indisputable fact, this is like time travel for me. Just 3 years later, I developed and sold my very first e-commerce solution to my very first customer – and it was up and running unchanged until 2018.

Madness, how time flies …
