An explanation of the creative process: how did you come up with the topic? Where did you source the images and other types of media resources you were using on the website?

We came up with the topic because we all liked Pokemon. We also felt that Pokemon would be a good fit for a website made in the late 90's and early 2000's since Pokemon was a franchise that started around that time. The reason why we wanted to focus specifically on Pokemon "ROMs" is because we thought that Pokemon ROMs would be a good way to show a modern twist on the franchise. We sourced the images using Banner Depot 2000, Gifcities, and Diskmaster, all of which consist of archived images, to get as many relevant y2k-related images as possible. We also used Google Images to get a few more images for our page. 

How is the experience developing a website using FrontPage/NetObjects Fusion different from what you've learned in a modern web development course?

One thing we noticed was that Frontpage used HTML 4 which does not have all the up-to-date tags/features that are in HTML 5 which is what is mostly taught in modern web development courses. We also noticed that Frontpage has a standard "Microsoft Office" type user interface as well as a direct HTML coding interface for website development whereas more modern web development is just direct HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, etc. This was especially interesting for us since it allowed for people who don't know how to use directly code in HTML still be able to create cool personal websites.

While you were using the same tools as the people who built GeoCities websites almost three decades ago, in what ways do you think your experience of building the website may differ from that of actual GeoCities users in the past? 

I think our experience of building the website is different from actual GeoCities users in the past in that we are more comfortable with using computers in general and we already have some basic knowledge of HTML and web development overall, both qualities which actual GeoCities users may not have had.
