History of Websites

Websites have been the major form of every internet based venture since the introduction of mainstream usage from the late 90's. Website design has changed and evolved through out the past decade being written in new and more complicated languages bringing an overall more immersive experience for the end user.


Websites in the late 90's consisted of basic html and had minimal user interaction compared to todays websites. Graphics were extremely low resolution to deal with the slow internet speeds that people had access to. Music and video on the internet was practically a myth as the file sizes where too big for streaming purposes.

Nowadays websites are more immersive and consist of rich multimedia and interactive user interfaces. With the introduction of new website languages such as css, flash and html5 websites can be fully customisable to produce the best results.

Many people can simply create a website in the comfort of their own homes and have minimal knowledge. This is due to the fact that websites give more publicity and can allow creators/owners to interactive with their audiences in a quick and simple way.

Here are a couple of website examples from site nowadays:

Justice the artists we have chosen take a less traditional route in that they do not have their own official website. They use social media for communication and publications to their fans. The major it of their online content can be found on their myspace page and their Facebook page.

On their website you can listen to their music via streaming, look at photos and publications, by tickets and see when the next shows are on. People can give feedback on tracks and pictures and overall have a better interaction with their artists through this medium.
