See which easter eggs visitors click, how long they stay, and which CTA buttons perform best.Ways to Keep It Fun and Functional
1. Pick a Fandom
Sites that lean into a specific memory—arcade high scores, Tamagotchi clubs, early hacker boards—feel more authentic than random clip art.
2. Limit the Blink
Use animated text sparingly so headlines still read well on mobile. Let one marquee carry the punchline.
3. Pair Retro Fonts with Readable Body Copy
Keep pixel fonts for titles and use a clean sans-serif for longer paragraphs to avoid eye strain.
4. Add Easter Eggs
Hide secret links, hover effects, or cheat codes; nostalgia fans love the hunt.
5. Keep Audio Optional
Auto-playing MIDI can charm or annoy. Provide a mute icon or start playback only after a click.
6. Share Loading Time Jokes, Not Real Lag
Use fake progress bars or dial-up sound bites while ensuring the actual page loads instantly.
