It's interesting: the modern web packages up web design so that every facebook, Wikipedia or Instragram feed looks the same. The design is done for you.

The geocities approach was that everyone creates their own site design with an editor, which was actually pretty good and effective. There were many website where you could create your own website, such as maxpages and xpages.

They would let you create pages on your site and link to other pages. There was a lot of funky pages out there.

Maybe people decided they don't want to do design anymore?
