First Web Pages

In October 1999, Reed Brothers Dodge published their first website. It can be hard to recall what website’s used to look like back in the 90s, as they have changed incrementally over a long period of time, but you can find an archived copy of the Reed Brothers Dodge original website on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we journey back in time and take a look at what our very first website used to be.

To give you some perspective, in 1996…

• Google.com did not exist yet
• In January 1996 there were only 100,000 websites, compared to more than 160 million in 2008
• The web browser of choice was Netscape Navigator, followed by Microsoft Internet Explorer as a distant second (Microsoft launched IE 3 in 1996)
• Most people used dial-up Internet connections with mighty speeds ranging from 28.8Kbps to 33.6Kbps

Reed Brothers Dodge site has been crawled 139 times going all the way back to October 4, 1999. (click image to enlarge)
