https://www.cameronsworld.net/ this website is what made me start mine... something about it brought me right back to little me being ever so patient with our dial-up. it was like the entire internet looked like that, but only for a moment in my life. very steadily things became simplistic, un-interesting to look at, and the personal websytes became a thing of the past.

I feel like 1995-1997 or so was the prime era of the stereotypical Geocities/animated gif design. Then tables and frames took over, so the whole design was crammed into an invisible grid that was sliced in Photoshop. A few years after that CSS and the horrible 'float' alignment took hold, and then eventually stuff like the 960px grids.
Mobile killed it all since sites need to easily strip down to fit on smaller screens. We're back where we started trying to accomodate the old 640x480.
