The Internet of the Past
Users of the internet were much different 20 years ago. One reason for that is technical; the dial-up internet connections at the time were holding usage back. Less data could be stored and accessed on servers by the average user, and as a result the internet featured data-light websites and applications. From the user experience, interacting with the internet meant both that your home phone was inaccessible and that you were going to invest some time into waiting for pages to load. Many web pages acted as nothing more than static billboards, displaying HTML information passively.
Web 3.0 and Today’s User
Fast-forward to present day, and you’ll see a much different type of person using the internet. Users expect a full experience when they visit a website. Inter-connectivity between devices means that the web’s big players are required to be active on many platforms simultaneously. Content is king, and has been reigning for 20 years now. A site’s visitor will be disappointed if content has not changed between visits. Search engines, social media, and apps are fully integrated into our everyday life, and current technology trends indicate that we will only become more connected to the internet in the future.
Still, the website is the hub in which users interact with the internet. Many companies have adapted very well to this new web ecosystem, managing websites with highly crafted content and regular updates. We recommend using a website run by WordPress, as it provides you with a high quality content management system that is flexible to many various website functionalities. Here are the 5 Reasons WordPress Websites Outperform Traditional Static HTML Websites.
