Looks good from the outside.

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.

Feels like spam here. Also this https://familyoftaygeta.com/ feels like a cult.

My question was more related to the design of the website rather than the content. Is it a retro design website ??

Ignore all cults, simple as that.

It's obviously "retro" with the style of old web sites.

Ignore all cults

lol

The purpose of this community is to hunt out and exhibit retro style websites/pages.

That's your interpretation. You linked to a very specific page instead of the home page which would have been more interesting. The fact that it is linked to a cultish web site that has the same design as death cults of the 2000s is intriguing to say the least.

I swear I don't understand people like you on the internet. 4chan trolls want to have fun, but you're stupid on purpose and it makes no sense to me. Is it some kind of kink?

Yep. Thanks for the confirmation.
