WEB 1.0

Refers to the first stage on the World Wide Web, made up of static pages connected by hyperlinks, with no interactive content.

The term Web 1.0 did not appear until the term Web 2.0 was coined in 1999 by Darci DiNucci. During that time, the web was undergoing a major transformation. Most websites in the 1990s had originally been created with static HTML pages and some simple styling embedded in the HTML markup. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, interactive website features redefined what could be accomplished in a web browser and marked a major point of evolution in the world of web development.

“Web 1.0 is the term used to refer to the first stage of development on the World Wide Web that was characterized by simple static websites".

During the stage known as Web 1.0, websites were branded with the following typical Web 1.0 features:

Static Pages:

Pages did not offer interactive features that changed based on the behavior of website visitors. At the time, websites were largely informational.

Website content stored in files:

Virtually all modern websites use a database to store most of the website's content. During Web 1.0 this was not the case and most website content was stored directly in the website files, not in a separate database.
