I&#x27;ve seen similar websites done for my former high school and former employee. I think in both cases it was webmasters showing off and justifying their existence combined with website owners being impressed by their 1337-skillz and maybe having some complexes that they aren&#x27;t modern enough.<p>It also didn&#x27;t help that owners weren&#x27;t actually <i>users</i> of the website and that the design was probably demoed to them on developer&#x27;s machine over localhost where it may have performed reasonably fast.
