#Infographic: 17 years of web design

It’s hard to believe that web design has been a popular profession for nearly two decades. The days of awful designs such as the old compuserve.com website (which, incidentally, isn’t a whole lot better today) are not completely behind us; there are still plenty of terrible designs out there. Still, it’s better now than it was. At least we don’t have to design webpages that can load on dialup internet connections.

P.S. Love the browser use graph. I laughed and groaned.
