Tips for High-Impact Retro Sites

1. Anchor Every Detail to the Era

Collect reference screenshots and note recurring motifs so your site feels cohesive, not like a random collage.

2. Balance Retro with Accessibility

High-contrast combos and alt text keep Lighthouse scores healthy even when you lean into nostalgic color schemes.

3. Use Motion Sparingly

Blink tags and marquees are fun, but limit them to one or two hero moments so visitors can still focus on key actions.

4. Leverage Authentic Copy

Adopt the tone of vintage magazines or early web fan pages to reinforce the setting.

5. Prep Retina Assets

Export backgrounds at 2x resolution so textures stay crisp on modern displays.

6. Tell a Story

Use timelines or scrapbook sections to explain why you chose the look—storytelling improves dwell time by up to 22% in brand studies.
