Amazon HTML 2015

Design

The 2015 Amazon layout is a lot better than the 1999 one. It is more streamlined and has more of an appeal for the eye. The old layout has a small search section expecting people to look through the site, it also lacks a lot of color. Amazon's 2015 layout is much cleaner with more colors.

HTML

There is a lot more code in the new version of Amazon than the old version. The site has loads of emty spaces sometimes 100+ lines im not sure why. Amazon2015 also has more <scrips> and less basic HTML than Amazon1999

Ebay 2015 HTML

Design

The old Ebay design seemed like a place holder for an idea. The after one year passed updated a lot and looked closer to how it is today. There is almost no code because the site is so small. The newer Ebay has an updated logo that is less 3D and looks more modern.

HTML

I found it super interesting that whenever you look into Ebay's source code you find a note using "<!--" showing a logo made out of characters and a job site if people are interested in make sites and looking at HTML.

Reddit

Design

Reddit has kept its design almost exactly the same. There are slight changes but most of it is the same. In the newer version is shows screenshots of each link submitted. The Reddit logo hasn't changed in over 10 years.

HTML

The code for Reddit looks very similar as well. You can see same text in both of the source codes. Reddit is very link based website so you can see a lot of them in the code.
