Early webs were designed without the more expert development resources we have today. Download speeds and graphic management techniques have improved allowing for greater imagery and moving graphics. In general early web designs lack complexity.

If your existing site is hosted by any company that parks your page for free such as' Go-Daddy' another issue appears. 'Go-Daddy' earns income from exploiting your content and placing advertisements on your page. Like 'Homestead', these companies provide the client with so-called easy to use templates and on-line tutorials. 

However, few see these templates as easy to use. Such proprietary software is cumbersome, bulky and slow. Moreover, you can only work on the design of your site while on-line with their servers. 'Homestead' site-builder software is roughly 40 Meg on your hard drive.

 Additionally, when your site is finished you can never move it. These companies can't allow your web to be downloaded or transferred without risking the loss of their unique templates. They draw you in with a ridiculously low price, they know you can never leave.

Even free templates are at the mercy of each user. Images must be prepared for the web. An image that looks good on your screen doesn't always make a good web display.
