How it all started?
Imagine a world where information wasn’t readily available at your fingertips. That’s where the story of the web begins! In the late 1980s, a scientist named Tim Berners-Lee saw a need for a better way to share information among researchers at CERN, a large European research organization. His solution? The World Wide Web.
The web wasn’t built overnight. It all started with hypertext, a way to link documents together. Tim Berners-Lee then developed Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), a coding language that allowed formatting and displaying information on web pages.
But how do we access these web pages? Enter web browsers! These programs, like the one you’re using now, translate the code behind a website into the visual experience you see.
The early web was simple, mostly text and basic images. Over time, new technologies emerged, allowing for multimedia content like videos and interactive elements.
Today’s web is a vast network of interconnected websites, accessible to anyone with an internet connection. It’s a platform for sharing information, and entertainment, and is crucial for conducting business. This is just a glimpse into the web’s fascinating history. Stay tuned for the next section where we’ll explore how you navigate this amazing digital world!
But still, how does it actually work?
?
Yeah, internet is quite a complicated thing, but we’ll explain it in simple terms, we promise.
1. World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is a vast collection of interconnected documents and resources, accessible through the Internet. It’s a way for computers to communicate and share information with each other, making the internet useful for us.
2. The Role of Web Browsers
Web browsers are our gateways to the web. When you enter a web address, your browser sends a request to a web server to fetch the page you want to see. The server then sends the page back, and your browser displays it on your screen.
3. Importance of URLs
URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) are the addresses we use to find web pages. They contain information about the protocol to use (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name (e.g., www.example.com), and the specific page or resource we’re looking for.
4. The Domain Name System
The DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phone book of the internet. When you type a web address, your browser first contacts a DNS server to find the IP address (a unique number identifying each device on the internet) associated with the domain name. This allows your browser to connect to the right web server.
5. HTTP and TCP/IP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the language that web browsers and servers use to communicate. When you request a web page, your browser sends an HTTP request to the server, which responds with an HTTP response containing the requested data. This data is sent using the TCP/IP protocol suite, which ensures reliable and ordered transmission of data packets between devices.
6. Rendering the Web Page
Once your browser receives the data from the server, it must interpret and display it. This involves parsing the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) to understand the structure of the page, applying CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to determine the visual appearance, and executing any JavaScript to add interactivity.
7. Web developers & SEO
Web developers create and maintain websites, ensuring they are functional, user-friendly, and visually appealing. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing a website to rank higher in search engine results, making it more visible to potential visitors.
8. The Future of the Web
The web is constantly evolving, with new technologies and standards emerging to improve its functionality and accessibility. As we move forward, we can expect the web to become even more integrated into our daily lives, shaping the way we communicate, work, and learn.
And how does a website benefit your business?
It’s simple. Through greatly increased conversion rate. No matter what you are selling, websites are quickly becoming the biggest sales platform in the world.
Just take a look at this graph displaying the % of e-commerce sales made through the internet in the USA This applies to all industries. There is not one where % of sales made through the internet is not increasing drastically.
What it takes to be part of this trend?
People will not buy from a crapy, old-looking, poorly designed website that displays on their phones like we are still in the 18th century. We believe you understand that.
For your business to succeed in the digital age we live in, it’s crucial for your website to impress and grab its visitors’ attention the moment they open it. And we really mean it. The moment they open it.
It takes a lot of work to achieve that. What’s crucial is fast loading speed, a beautifully designed and animated landing page, and perfect optimization both for web, and mobile users. That’s how to drive your sales to new heights. That’s what we excel in. That’s what the BliBling website will achieve for your business.
