Then and Now
The new versions of browsers and html
have provided the control that the designers have been concerned
about over the last 6 years (1996-2002). The designer can
now position page elements with far greater freedom from the
original html. The introduction of version 4 html has style
sheets which can control any element on the web page even
the whole web site.
For any technology that is introduced
into the market place, there are usually the early adopters,
the mainstream and the laggards. It may take a few more years
for the web to really find it's directions into the mainstream
market place in the community. Although, at the moment, there
seems to be a growing hype among small businesses to have
a small web site setup in addition their advertisement in
the telephone directory with each business name. It is getting
to the stage where business also needs a domain name before
setting up a web page in order to be taken seriously on the
web, ie, yourname@domain_name.com.au or www.domain_name.com.au
