Modern Web design was (sort-of) founded at M.I.T. In 1994, after founding the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee (pictured here) founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer
Science. The group was founded to help create Web standards, a need that
arose after various vendors were offering different versions of HTML.
One HTML standard was eventually agreed upon, after which, the W3C was formed, and Web design history was made.
You guessed it, Tim Berners-Lee. I guess we don’t hear too much about this because if you could put on your resume “Created the World Wide Web,” you might leave out the part about creating the first Web design.
This site was created using HTML, went online on August 6, 1991, and was educational, providing information about what the World Wide Web was,
how someone could own a browser and how to set up a Web server.
The first version of the site no longer exists (no one thought to take a screenshot of it, perhaps?) but you can see a version from 1992 here. We’ve come a long way....
