Websites have evolved infinitely over the years. They have gone from plain and ordinary to graphic and exciting. Blogs are also going to evolve like the computer industry and soon provide just as many amenities.
Apple computers website ten years ago, looked just like any website on the internet (1). Everything on the page aligned on the left and the page was very plain (1). Now, entering the Apple website is an adventure with colors, images, and links to get exactly where you need to go (2). Not only can websites include information for the company running it, but websites can contain links to other businesses, news headlines, and logos. There are search bars in almost any website, so that those viewing it, can find exactly what they need. Websites have become so convenient and easy to use. Diane V. Web Design studio, a company that designs websites and increases usability in websites says, “Websites that are easy to understand and easy to use are a pleasure. You can find what you need, and can do what you went there to do. This translates, for the website owner or company, into sales, subscriptions, and everything else the website is intended to achieve. (3).” Websites have turned from ordinary to extraordinary.
Blogs started out just like websites, plain. Now blogs contain many of the same things as websites, such as, logos, links, news reels, graphics, and updates on other blogs (4). Blogs are money makers and also important sources of information for customers and employees. There are many layouts, themes, and backgrounds to add to blogs that make them unique and quite eye catching (4). They are being used like websites and that is why I think they will evolve and keep evolving until the next bigger and better thing appears in technology.
