"Website design is the new handshake."
Think about it — before someone picks up the phone, visits your location, or even sends an email, they’re probably checking out your website. And just like a handshake, your site communicates something instantly: Are you professional? Trustworthy? Modern? Approachable?
But here's the twist:
Unlike a handshake, your website design reaches thousands (even millions) — and it never forgets to smile.
What’s even more fascinating is how design psychology plays a role. Color, layout, spacing, even the font you choose can subconsciously influence how people feel about your brand. For example:
And with trends like dark mode, micro-animations, and AI-generated personalization shaping the future, website design isn’t just about looking good — it’s about creating experiences that convert.
1. The first website ever is still online!
Tim Berners-Lee created the first website in 1991. It’s still live at: http://info.cern.ch — and yes, it’s just text.
2. There are over 1 billion websites — but most are inactive.
As of 2025, over 1.1 billion websites exist, but only around 200 million are actively maintained. The rest are parked, expired, or abandoned.
3. Google didn’t exist until 1998.
Before Google, people used search engines like AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, and Yahoo Directory to find websites. (Yes, you had to click through categories.)
4. The most visited website in the world?
Still Google.com, followed closely by YouTube and Facebook.
5. Loading speed matters — a lot.
If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, over 40% of users will leave. Ouch.
6. Websites blinked in the '90s — literally.
The <blink> HTML tag (yes, real) made text flash on screen. It’s now retired — for everyone’s sanity.
7. The average website lifespan is just 2-3 years.
Due to changing tech, design trends, and business needs, most companies revamp or replace their site every few years.
