The first websites I remember - this would have been around '93 I think - were the Smithsonian one that showed gemstones, and the original IMDB that was still then hosted at the University of Cardiff in Wales.
Isn't it funny how these early sites managed to be completely functional and useful in their plain and unpretentious way without pulling down gigabytes of cruft designed primarily to make it look like you aren't looking at a website. Given the choice between the 2022 and 1993 presentations of IMDB, I'd take the earlier one in a heartbeat.
