Tips for Authentic Y2K Design

1. Stick to Web-Safe Colors

Bright blues, lime greens, and #FF00FF gradients nail the CRT-era palette.

2. Use System Fonts

Verdana, Arial, and Courier instantly teleport visitors back to the MSN Messenger era.

3. Table-Like Layouts

Even if flexbox handles the code, mimic table-based structures with borders and spacer gifs.

4. Sprinkle In Classics

Hit counters, guestbooks, or “best viewed in IE6” badges sell the fantasy.

5. Balance Retro with Usability

Keep accessibility intact—alt text and keyboard navigation still matter.

6. Add Easter Eggs

Link to old favorite sites, embed a Winamp skin, or hide a secret MP3 player for extra charm.
