The history of Playboy.com's home page is a history of the Web itself. Since 1995, when the home page boasted, "This site takes advantage of Netscape 1.1 enhanced coding," Playboy.com has employed cutting-edge Web technology. The Playboy Cyber Club currently features such innovations as widescreen video, high-def CyberZoom images, Virtual Striptease pictorials and 360-degree spins.

In addition to technological advances, the evolving Playboy.com home page reflects changes in the basic idea of how a website functions and how users navigate through it. From 1997's simple "Planets" page to our current section-oriented columnar magazine-style layout, the site has evolved from a minimal extension of the Playboy brand onto the Internet to a full-blown original Web experience.
