Something that I love about the World Wide Web is little websites that use simple HTML that are stuck in time. A website that I have found that I am talking about is https://www.oldradios.com/

Just little websites that have not been made with a website builder and simpler ways, like Melon forum. Just something I like about the World Wide Web. Parts of it that have not moved or kept earlier designs.

Ahhhh, I love their little guided tour of York Beach, Maine: https://www.oldradios.com/gsk/maine/yorkmap0.htm. They even have two versions of it—one using recent photos (c. late '90s, early '00s?) and the other using old postcards. Delightful.

I enjoy them as well if we're thinking about the same thing! Assuming you mean sites like that that are still up and floating around somewhere on the web without the support of an archive. I don't remember how I found most of them, but I have quite a few older ones that fall under the category of (seemingly) unchanged when it comes to certain graphical elements or untouched completely after a certain point in my bookmarks. Here are some of them:

https://candywrappermuseum.com/

https://kontek.net/

http://catb.org/jargon/html/index.html

https://www.oldcomputers.net/

I'm not sure where they are right now, but I have (and still do) come across a lot of smaller HTML sites that fit your description of "lone" a bit better than most of these might. I'll try and share more in the future now that I know I have a reason to collect any I find into one place.

[Note: The Jargon site may be the only one I specifically found within a discussion on this forum.]
