There are some issues on mobile. Web 2.0 sites almost always had issues due to lack of responsive web design, but in 2026 the retro aesthetic can be achieved on all aspect ratios.

Also, back in the web 2.0 days they didn't have Grok to make their iconography... if the retro aesthetic is your goal, take a look at some neocities sites to get an idea for what design choices and resources they use to create their assets.

Also, this is just my opinion, but if you have/will use AI tools to generate your html/js/css, I highly recommend taking some time to make some basic sites from scratch as practice. If nothing else, it will improve the prompts you can compose and improve the quality of code you accept from your agent.
