Web Environment

The
World-Wide Web empowers writers, educators, and businesses with
a new medium to display content, communicate to their audiences,
advertise, or simply organize information for a new type of presentation.
Because the last ten years mark the growth and emergence of web
technology and proliferation, web design standards are slowly emerging,
and have not yet solidified. The medium is immature, can be misused,
and frequently communicates ineffectively. Many writers and designers
of web pages are faced with the challenge of converting information
traditionally printed linearly to a non-linear presentation on the
Web. This changes information organization, encourages the hypertext
theory, engages readers, and takes advantage of the dynamic flexibility
of the Web.
