Completely tangent question: Does anyone know how a website such as this is created? It has that "old" vibe to it. Perhaps, I am guessing it was created using one of those software in a box that you buy a physical copy of it, and it allows a non-techy person to create a website. I am curious because I see this similar type of web-design in old websites.

After 23,000 Bootstrap single page sites, it has a refreshing vibe to it. Reminds me when the web was useful rather than marketing. (Only partly tongue in cheek). :)

Oh, don't worry, there's a Bootstrap theme for that:

lol. That is equal parts awful, and marvellous. :)

The "#bbinclude" in the source suggests it was made using BBEdit.

Guessing BBEdit and a thick book on HTML...I made quite a few that way myself.

Quick edit: One thing that's oddly enjoyable is going back in and adding media queries, so the sites still _look_ the same and seem a bit more elaborate than more modern sites in their way, but mysteriously adapt well to different screen sizes.
