Pizza Hut’s First Website

And yet there was a thread recently where numerous commenters rolled their eyes at the need for accessibility for the blind on the web, because “Can’t you just call?”

For even more irony, Pizza Hut’s and Domino’s pages from the mid-90s are more blind-accessible than the meth-addled versions of today. We’ve somehow regressed.

Google wasn't dictating how websites are developed/optimized back then.

Sure, blame Google instead of lazy developers who can't be bothered to give a damn about anyone's time but their own.

Its funny when I type "Pizza" into Google, the first organic result is Pizzahut.com, not bad for a bunch of lazy developers who don't take Google SEO into account.

Except that Google now likes simplistic 1995-style websites. They're fast to load and don't obscure the relevant information.
