The first website explained the Web.

Tim Berners-Lee used the first site to explain what the Web was and how to use it.

The first website ran on Tim Berners-Lee’s NeXT computer at CERN. Its pages introduced the World Wide Web project and pointed readers toward instructions and software to get started.

CERN later made the Web software freely available. You can still explore a restored copy of the early site at info.cern.ch.
