Share any sites you found that still use the following visual styles in the current day:
Web 2.0 Gloss
They often feature reflections under objects, glossy buttons, transparency, and skeuomorphic elements (mimicking objects of real life). It was a popular style after the rise of Windows Vista in the mid 2000s and early 2010s.
Post-morphism
Those feature very subtle gradients, shadows, gloss, and a matte plastic feel, and it was a popular style during the transition to flat design in the mid 2010s.
Include a screenshot if you can and also a link to the site in question.

Re: Web 2.0 Gloss and Post-morphism in 2025
I'll start off with this phpBB website that presents the forum software to french speaking people, it features some reflections and transparency, but also subtle gradients so I would say it is post-morphism. It first featured this design around 2014 (Archive).
