Web 1.0 refers to that state of the World Wide Web which has been used between the time periods of 1991-2003. During this period, people used static HTML pages since their prime aim was to display web contents only.

Webmasters created a website and then submitted it to web directories like Dmoz and Yahoo. Users searched links in directories to find relevant content or website. During this time users were dependent on web directories for trusted web content. This was mainly because there were no interactions between web surfers looking out for similar products/services over the net. And that’s how Web 2.0 comes in picture.

Web 1.0 design elements

Some typical design elements of Web 1.0 are:

Static pages.
The use of framesets.
Proprietary HTML extensions such as the blink and marquee tags introduced during the first browser war.
Websites used Guestbook for user interactions.
GIF buttons, typically of 88×31 pixel size to promote web browsers and other products.
For inquiry or questioning HTML forms were used. These were sent via emails to clients who after filling these forms with required information and then emailed them back.

There are more than 105 million of them in the United States. Worldwide, there could be at least 250 million of them. Them, according to statistics from the Nielsen/Net Ratings service, is the number of active Web surfers. 250 million in the whole world? The figure is more than the populations of Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and a few non-English speaking countries combined. That’s a lot of them!

With so many active surfers around, you would think Webmasters and site owners have an easy time attracting them. Actually, they face an uphill battle to bring visitors and, more importantly, consumers to their Web sites. And a Web site without traffic is like a store built in the middle of the desert. You could have the greatest products and most attractive Web design around, but they’re worthless if no one visits them.

There is one way, however, to turn your Web site into an oasis of business, a way to drive as much traffic to your site as your server can handle: a classified ad.  Read more...
