Anything they use at my work lol
I love the old simple powerful websites at companies I've worked for. It's when they add a bunch of whitespace and a chatbot that they really start to go to hell.
Yeah nah, this is old late 00s web sites that's have to load whenever you change something.
My healthcare services websites. Their website and mobile app require separate logins. The website logs in then redirects to a completely different website.
They have a tax-free “store” that feels like a completely different website.
Everything is laid out using what seems like the idea of middle management and not modern design philosophy.
TreasuryDirect also feels classic. If you're not familiar, it's a US government website to buy and sell certain types of treasury bonds. Some great features:
- an image so you know you didn't typo your username (haven't seen that in well over a decade)
- clicking a link is a new page, and clicking back breaks stuff and makes you login again
- until recently, you couldn't paste in the password field
It does do some modern-ish things with page layout, but not that modern, like maybe early 2000s modern. But it's perennially stuck about 20 years in the past.

Has Real Ultimate Power actually changed at all/added new content? I was reading that in elementary.
I see YouTube videos linked, and I remember being on this site before YouTube existed. I don't think it has changed all that much, though.
Nope, exact same html.

Irregular webcomics
Dinosaur comics (qwantz.com)

Sites that have old forums. There aren't many anymore, but ones I've seen that have been very helpful of late include car sites, a timeshare forum, and the Fantasy Grounds forum (my virtual tabletop of choice).
I'm sure there are others out there, but it's definitely more rare than it used to be. Is Something Awful still around?
