Professional and serious websites, yes, but there were plenty of websites on Geocities that looked very much like this. These websites may not have been the majority of the internet, but they weren't rare either. Just browsing around on a geocities website you can find pages like https://geocities.restorativland.org/CollegePark/Lounge/3449/ https://geocities.restorativland.org/CollegePark/Lounge/3449... and https://geocities.restorativland.org/Eureka/1415/ https://geocities.restorativland.org/Eureka/1415/ (audio warning on both) If anything, this retro site is a bit too modern for having translucent panels, the background not being badly tiled, and text effects being too stylish.
