The usability of websites over the last 24-36 months (Content Management Systems in particular) have improved. As well as the integration of Social Media with websites, where it has become apparent that education is becoming a key to having a successful website.
Over the last year in particular I have really become aware of the important connection between a website owner and their website. The arrival of Content Management Systems have provided website owners with the opportunity to update their websites directly. In my opinion (and most important), allowing the website owner to be an active participant in the process. Great websites require great team work.
Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) have become the new standard of websites on the Internet and are clearly the way of the future for website owners. When the Internet first came into being, computer people and then graphic design people started developing websites.
