Do you ever find yourself nostalgic for the early days of the internet? Elements like slow dial-up connections, ASCII art, and dithered images might feel like distant memories, but for some, they still hold special meaning.
Note: Dial-up refers to a communication method that uses telephone lines to transmit data over the telephone network (PSTN), similar to dialing a phone number by turning a dial or pressing buttons to connect to the other party.

Monika Michalczyk took her love for the old internet a step further by creating a personal website with a Macintosh Classic vibe using Framer. In this blog post, we'll introduce you to the process and tools she used to complete this retro design.

Creating a Macintosh Classic Vibe with Framer

Key elements in retro design include ASCII art and dithered effects. The image dithering tool called Ditherit created by Alex Harris is particularly useful. This tool allows you to easily convert images into a vintage style. These effects add a retro feel to the design and vividly evoke the vibe of the 90s internet.

Note: By using Framer's drag effect, you can move icons and windows freely on the page just like on a real desktop computer. Go to 'Effects → Drag' in the menu to adjust the settings as you wish.

Designing for Mobile Devices

The design with a Macintosh Classic vibe looks great on a desktop but can be inconvenient on small mobile screens. However, by using Framer's breakpoints feature, you can easily create a mobile-specific layout.

The Macintosh Classic design optimized for desktops can be cumbersome on small mobile screens. But with Framer's breakpoints feature, it's easy to create a mobile-friendly layout.

Using Components in Framer

If you want to make your design more dynamic, try utilizing Framer's component feature. By creating various file formats and modifying their names, you can quickly and easily change the entire design without updating each element individually.

Conclusion

With Framer, you can create truly functional retro websites, not just mimic the old style. By appropriately combining features like drag, breakpoints, and components, you can capture both nostalgia and practicality at the same time.
