The world’s first website went online 25 years ago today

It’s the 25th birthday of the oldest website on the world wide web. Yeah!

Invented by Tim Berners Lee, the first website went live at research lab CERN in 1990

Feeling a little old right about now. To be roughly 13+ years older than the oldest website… hmmm…

Nevertheless, it’s crazy to consider all the change, all the progress that’s been made in this world as a result of the internet.

Say what you want about the proliferation of porn, or the “loss” of privacy. When you consider all the ways in which information is being made public, international and truly global collaboration is made possible, education is made more accessible and easier to communicate, new technologies evolve more rapidly and cheaply, all because of the “Internet” — this is a day to celebrate.

I'm the founder of Roots & Fruit, a fractional Chief Growth Officer practice for product companies that want growth to feel deliberate—not reactive. I help founders and teams turn customer feedback into clear product priorities, align marketing, product, and customer experience around shared goals, and build operating systems that support steady renewal revenue without burning out teams or customers. I co-founded GiveWP and grew it through an eight-figure acquisition, then led marketing and customer experience at scale across StellarWP brands including LearnDash, Kadence, and The Events Calendar. Over more than a decade in product-led growth, I've focused on connecting what customers feel with how teams build—and turning that alignment into meaningful, measurable results. I also co-host WP Product Talk, where product founders share what actually works in building sustainable software businesses.
