In early years of computer research, the internet was AGONIZINGLY slow and scarcely provided easy-access webpages. If you were of the lucky few who owned a computer as they were first released, crossing your fingers was essentially the best option when waiting for a page to buffer!
With the modernization of electrical equipment, new versions of smooth-running computers and cellphones popularized to become the average person’s side-kick. Since then, mobile devices have taken the world by storm through their continuous development, convenient options, and proficient apps available to the users. While the computer has been a heavily utilized system that is well-loved, mobile users have started to bypass computer users by a landslide! According to Christo Petrov’s statistical based research at techjury.net, there is over 63.1% of the world’s populace that accesses the internet; a whopping 92.1% of them use their phone instead of a computer to do so!
With the improvement in modern internet, the web is accessible to everyone and anyone all across the world and on multiple platforms – but who is the “top-dog” in control of the world-wide web? The government? There are no soul owners of the internet realistically, it is uniquely designed to be controlled by the users and what it is they post and profit from. There are corporate businesses that may dominate their own networks and what information is released, but there is no ownership of the world wide web aside from Tim Berner Lee’s accredited, renowned work, in the invention of the web in 1989.

Blogging is a personalized webpage that allows the author to answer questions, share stories, or post written productions to the public. In around 1994, it is assumed that the first blog and step into the media was posted by a student named Justin Hall to publish his work (Dianna Gunn, 2021). Blogging blasted off, and a simple post could attract thousands of potential readers searching for advice, general comfort, or content to relate to. Competition was introduced with the new media, and grabbing onto the viewer’s attention became a constant effort in the design industry.
Heads turned to focus on “dynamic content”. Dynamic content is the relevant, latest information posted on a webpage that captures the audience’s attention and keeps them attracted. If the user is engaged, they’ll remain focused on the page’s content.
A content management system (CMS) is an application that allows users to create and edit digital posts globally. CMS’, like our very own Word-press for example, are available for everyone to use and are most commonly associated with businesses looking to promote information or produce topics that may be useful as articles. Utilizing CMS’ is vital to media workers and those who post, as it can help attract attention to their materials.
Newer websites called for shortened design and easy visual aid, often in blogs or manufacturing web pages. A responsive website design uses coding that leaves the app and webpage maneuverable and aesthetically pleasing to users across multiple platforms, which came in handy for new designs. Be it computers, cellphones, tablets or TVs, a responsive website design is visually approved for each screen. Responsive website design across all platforms is necessary for app and website productions because users may not be able to maneuver content properly without confusion or frustration. The owner’s inconvenient error may face criticisms, and it can cost them page views and monetization.
With decreased page views, SEO, or “search engine optimization”, is the affected gradual process of increasing a website’s visibility on search engines when relative searches are made. “The better visibility your pages have in search results, the more likely you are to garner attention and attract prospective and existing customers to your business”, as explained by Third Door Media, 2022.
Youtube is an example of a popular, well established website that caters to business opportunists through responsive web design, CMS utilization, and dynamic content all in one!
A Youtube channel is a service that allows a user to establish an account for marketing, posting videos, sharing content, commenting, and subscribing to another person’s content across the Youtube platform. Anyone can make a youtube account for various reasons, but personally I use it to listen to music, subscribe to accounts I enjoy, and watch content I think is humorous!
