This article seems like the author's personal memories asserted to sound like a comprehensive history. However, as someone online since 1993, with my own domain since 1995, I have different memories. By 1996, we had AOL Hometown, Tripod, GeoCities, Angelfire, and more. All offering various forms of build tools and early CMS features. The old weird web is still out there if you take the time to look. I would argue there are actually more quirky personal pages now than ever before.
