Then came
the birth of browsers that could display images using the tables and layouts in the existing concepts of HTML.
3] JavaScript comes to the rescue (1995)
JavaScript was the solutions to the queries and limitations of HTML. It was much powerful for developers to use it with ease.
4] The golden era of freedom – Flash (1996)
Flash Flash Flash !! It broken the limitations of web design with cool shapes, animations, interactive fonts, and much more! The disadvantage is was too late to open, not search friendly and consumed large amount of data.
5] CSS (1998)
It is a technical standpoint born along with flash!! The concept is it helps to display the content better and separates the content and presentation with predefined formats. However, designers must obviously understand CSS and it is not a coding language.

Layout designing takes more time, so its been compromised with flat design which has fancy shadow effects, fine typography, sharp illustrations and more simplified visual elements.
