A very short history of Web Development
Friday, December 28th, 2007 by Sharon Marie SutherlinLong ago in far away land… OK… this is a very short history!
By 2000, I think every person in the developed world had a brother-in-law, a twice-removed cousin, or a neighbor who created websites on the side who was using Frontpage and a pirated copy of Photoshop.
Today, it’s a whole different story folks! Today, web development projects consist of a variety of ever-changing web hosting technologies, diverse teams of back-end developers, front-end developers, graphic artists, UI designers, database and systems administrators, search engine marketing experts, analytics specialists, copywriters, web tool developers, and editors. The industry has simply grown so specialized, so quickly, that one person can hardly be a master of anything more than a single strand in the web.
Professional, revenue-generating websites are an investment and should be taken very seriously. I, Your Royal Webness, can spot an amatuer website in a matter of seconds. Go ahead… send me a link and test me. This could be quite fun!
And away we go… your comments?
