Designers have started creating sites as art, sites as interactive projects, and sites that simply exist for play and delight. This harkens back to the beginning of the web when designers found ways to show off new techniques or create websites for their own sake.

We seem to be in a bit of a renaissance period of the early web. It makes sense. Fashion has also been borrowing heavily from the late 90s and early aughts. Many of us have been spending time at home idly surfing the internet, looking for something diverting or exciting like we used to do when the web was first emerging.
