I think Craigslist would be the classic example of a simple design that hasn't changed significantly over its lifetime.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoAmazon and ebay are good examples of sites that have made very slow, incremental changes over the years.
- bhandziuk 8y agoI don't know, Amazon seems pretty bloated at times. The page may look similar to old Amazon pages but there is just so much happening I'm overwhelmed. "Related Items" " People who bought this also looked at", multiple sections of "Sponsored Items", "Customers Also Bought", "Frequently Bought together". Sigh. Just show me this product and the information about it (specs, reviews, questions [and don't show me any questions which were just answered with "I don't know"])
- chasedehan 8y agoThe overwhelming is especially prevalent on AWS - I get super confused every time I do work there. So many buttons, services, etc. It's for that reason primarily that I prefer using GCP as it is kept a bit more similar.
- noarchy 8y agoIt may not be popular to bring it up here, but the Drudge Report remains very similar to how it has looked for over 20 years. Here's a look at the site on a random(ish) day in 2001: https://web.archive.org/web/20010119181300/http://www.drudgereport.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/20010119181300/http://www.drudge...

- romwell 8y agoNope. The search box UI looks very similar, but the UX has changed a ton. From not being able to use "+" in queries to how your queries are interpreted to what you actually get as your results (from map results to AMP articles, there's a whole spectrum), it's very much a different product these days.
