Did you know that properly written, well-built websites are having a resurgence? Why is that? Here's a little history and explanation of why websites are more important than ever in 2025 and beyond.

Mid-90s: owning a website was near irrelevant for businesses. It was still catching on and most people had no idea how to find businesses online.

2000s: definitely relevant. Big websites with lots of good information were popular.

2010s: social media made websites less relevant. Many of those that had websites only wanted a basic one-page presence. They also wanted a more professional email, so they'd buy their own domains for email, so why not at least have a simple website too? Blogs became mostly irrelevant because blog-type content lived on social media.

2020: People left social media in droves. Websites became relevant again because what else is out there? Blog-type content moved back to blogs due to the SEO impacts.

2025: The internet is drowning in AI-produced slop. Low-effort, templated brochure sites don't build trust anymore. People are looking ever more closely for any sign of authenticity, social proof, unpolished writing and photos.

Properly built websites are now a top priority so businesses and organizations can stand above the AI garbage. Even better, a great website is proven by its authentic writing style.

Did you know that solar storms can cause problems with our internet infrastructure, including down time with online services and websites? If you have been noticing any downtime recently with your website, it's likely a result of something failing due to recent solar storms.

An intense solar eruption recently triggered a rare "severe geomagnetic storm" alert for Earth, with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory capturing the CME racing toward us at 1,700 km/s. These Earth-directed blasts from the Sun can wreak havoc on satellites, GPS systems, and even electrical grids.
