Weird personal websites that were full of exactly the information you needed, that loaded really quickly… and then were full of other random stuff that was just “this is what this person knows and likes”.
For example, you’d get things called something like “Tim’s little website” and it would have a picture of him and his dog and his garden, and then the next page would have basically the world’s best guide to writing your own website in html, followed by a conversion chart between metric and imperial screw sizes, a guide to all the episodes of Bagpuss and instructions on how to make a guitar out of common household objects. The website would end with “Links” where they’d list other websites they liked.
…and a page they intended to add, but hadn’t got round to doing yet, so they’d write “under construction” in yellow and black, next to a pixel-art construction vehicle.

Yup. I can see it in my head now. Always had a square header with random images squished in.
