Some common design elements of a Web 1.0 site include:<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Viswanathan|first1=Ganesh|last2=Dutt Mathur|first2=Punit|last3=Yammiyavar|first3=Pradeep|title=From Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and beyond: Reviewing usability heuristic criteria taking music sites as case studies|url=https://www.academia.edu/8381037|date=March 2010|place=Mumbai|access-date=20 February 2015|series=IndiaHCI Conference|archive-date=21 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321085849/https://www.academia.edu/8381037|url-status=live}}</ref>
* Static pages rather than [[dynamic HTML]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-10.htm|title=Is there a Web 1.0?|date=January 28, 2008|website=HowStuffWorks|access-date=February 15, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222191357/https://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-10.htm|archive-date=February 22, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
* Content provided from the server's [[File system|filesystem]] rather than a relational database management system ([[RDBMS]]).
* Pages built using [[Server Side Includes]] or [[Common Gateway Interface]] (CGI) instead of a [[web application]] written in a [[dynamic programming language]] such as [[Perl]], [[PHP]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]] or [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]].{{clarify|date=April 2021}}
* The use of [[HTML 3.2]]-era elements such as [[Framing (World Wide Web)|frames]] and tables to position and align elements on a page. These were often used in combination with [[spacer GIF]]s.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}
* Proprietary [[HTML]] extensions, such as the [[blink element|&lt;blink&gt;]] and [[marquee tag|&lt;marquee&gt;]] tags, introduced during the [[First Browser War|first browser war]].
* Online [[guestbook]]s.
* [[GIF]] buttons, graphics (typically 88×31 [[pixel]]s in size) promoting [[web browser]]s, [[operating system]]s, [[text editor]]s and various other products.
* HTML forms sent via [[email]]. Support for [[server side scripting]] was rare on [[shared server]]s during this period. To provide a feedback mechanism for web site visitors, [[mailto]] forms were used. A user would fill in a form, and upon clicking the form's submit button, their [[email client]] would launch and attempt to send an email containing the form's details. The popularity and complications of the mailto protocol led browser developers to incorporate [[email client]]s into their browsers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch13s04.html|title=The Right Size of Software|website=www.catb.org|access-date=2015-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617002902/http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch13s04.html|archive-date=2015-06-17|url-status=live}}</ref>
