There were different web design trends, from my subjective perspective:
* 1991-1995 the early web with all sort of experiments,
* 1995-2000 What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get era 8Frontpage/Dreamweaver/GoLive/etc) with Frames and Table-based layout and quite interesting design decisions, Java-applets, every website looked different often with very nice artworks and designs
* 2000-2005 no frames more CSS less graphical too much content on each page, Flash and various other embedded plugins, XML and XHTML 1 were hot
* 2005-2010 usage of AJAX, upcoming JSON
* 2010-today leaner design, less is more, inspired by the Google startpage and styled after recent operating system themes from iOS/Windows8/Android5, HTML5, JS5, CSS3, heavy usage of AJAX on some sites (one page apps), responsive design (work on different screen resolutions)
The web design was most colorful and interesting in the early days til about 2000. Then came the more boring years with cooperate designs and pages with too much content stuffed on one page. It got a lot more interesting from the design point of view though some of the flat-designs mean developer-art which isn't everyone likes.
