Remember when websites had soul? Glossy buttons, reflection effects, and gradients everywhere. Step into our time machine and relive 2008! (ใฅ๏ฝกโโฟโฟโ๏ฝก)ใฅ
The design trends that defined a generation of web designers โฅ
Those beautiful glossy gradients that made every button look like a piece of candy. Linear gradients from light to dark with that iconic highlight! (โโฟโ)
Everything had a reflection back then. Logos, buttons, text... if it existed, it had a fade-to-transparent reflection beneath it! โ ๅฝก
Border-radius was revolutionary! Suddenly everything had soft, inviting rounded corners. No more harsh rectangles! ใฝ(>โ<โ)โ
Soft, colorful drop shadows that made elements pop off the page. Sometimes with a subtle glow effect for extra pizzazz! โงหยฐ

OMG I spent 3 hours making my MySpace profile look perfect. Custom CSS, auto-playing music, glitter graphics everywhere. Those were the days!!! xD
Remember when "Web 2.0" was the buzzword of the year? Every client wanted glossy buttons and that signature reflection effect lol ^_^
The iPhone had just launched. Twitter was cool. Facebook was for college kids. And every website had a "Best viewed in Firefox" badge!! :D
