30th Anniversary of Visual Impact Systems First Website
Visual Impact Systems launched their first website in June 1993—30 YEARS AGO!
The “World Wide Web” was invented by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN and, without fanfare, published the first website on August 6, 1991 (https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html). At this time, it was conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
Then, in APRIL 30, 1993, CERN made it available in the public domain (World Wide Web available to the public).
At the time, Visual Impact Systems was an Apple Computer “Value-Added Reseller,” and was ‘privy’ to some of what was happening “behind the scenes,” and had been developing the website for a time.
When we launched it, we had a brilliant young man as a part of our ‘virtual corporation’, “VisibleInc,”—that understood the “Assembler” language!—and he made our logo ‘rotate’ (https://www.spiritedesign.com/VISIBLE/index.htm).
We had HUNDREDS of requests about how we did it. [ We responded that we would develop a website for them with that capability in it. That was not the response they were desiring. ;^D ]
Visual Impact Systems was one of the corporations that was a part of the ‘virtual corporation’—a network of companies working together to create a full-service corporation—and we had our own ‘section’ of the website
