I designed (and coded) dozens of static websites back in the day, some dating to the very early days of web development. Most of the static sites are no longer live, having been replaced by responsive websites (and/or the properties sold), however I have the files on hand and so can publish to my sever, if needed (again, though, the code will be sorely outdated).

Below is one more of the many sites I created for The New Homes Group back in the day. This one shows the basic template we used for the first five or so sites, each employing a custom palette. The company logo type was what was being used when I came on the scene; we later changed it, as shown in the screenshot at the top of the page (they wanted to stick with typography they could recreate on their desktop machines, meaning not too stylized).
Additional samples — I created at least a dozen temporary/listing websites for The New Homes Group — available upon request.
