Visual design (UX/UI), front-end web development (HTML/CSS) These old sites aren't professional by today's standards. User experiences were built for desktop screens on unresponsive grid systems, typography was limited to system fonts, CSS was in its infancy, and we still had to code for IE 6. But they have a certain charm and personality that's lost in this era of content management systems and mobile-first templates. My challenge as a UX/UI designer is expressing this defiantly naive user-first approach with today's responsive and accessibility technologies.

PS: It's weird being around long enough to see work I still remember as current fade into obsolescence. Imagine future generations mocking the innovative and amazing work you're doing right now. "Angular JS, Bootstrap, GitHub...what is this, the Dark Ages? Nobody's coded like this for decades!"
