WebDesignHistory shared this site’s snow effect from 2004 as part of their excellent flashback series:

The site’s current design is still mostly the same as what it was before. Should I go all in in 2023 and slowly get it back to being more pixelart-ish?

Its a balancing act between looking cool retro and appearing like a page that hasn’t been updated since pre Y2K 😄

I’ve been wanting to have a go at Pacman/ Mario style svg animations for a while… 🙂

That old design is pretty timeless.
