There's a certain charm from the early 90's that's been lost with all these new design trends.

I personally think that it has something to do with simplicity indicating that you are dealing with an individual. Not a 'faceless' company. Hence the charm.

In the 90's, you were almost always interacting with a site designed by an individual. Think GeoCities/AngelFire - so this was always a given. Now much less so.
