Not only is this site still up (I'm assuming parts of it have gone down since it was originally posted), but the web-design firm that built the site still has a functioning front-page, made with the rock-hard kind of HTML design that maintain its appearance and functionality for at least the next decade of browser and standards changes:

I think 1996 were the days in which high school age kids could get $30-$50 an hour making webpages of this quality for local businesses. That's not bad small town money when you adjust for inflation.

Surely you're joking! That page may look like text, but in fact it's all (not just the header) a big image:

The same goes for http://www.presageinc.com/Presage_Digital_Strategies,_Inc./P..., to which http://www.presageinc.com/ redirects.

Exactly. Totally consistent as long as image formats don't change ;)

I'm amazed at how much HTML markup it took for them to just display a static image. And it looks intentional, i.e. not like markup generated by saving a standard Frontpage/Dreamweaver file.
