Do you remember what Facebook looked like when it first launched? Neither do we! Luckily, Business Insider decided to take a trip down memory lane, compiling several images that compare what some of the most popular websites used to look like before they became what they are now; well…the huge websites we use daily.
From Facebook and Twitter to Google and eBay, we can all agree website design has come a long way. Enjoy the memories. Now, what’s next?

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
