In the beginning we were all finding our way. The web was a means to an end: you either had a website or you didn’t. Most of us didn’t go off and commission one. I had my own arts organisation at the time and needed a website, so I stumbled into it accidentally. I didn’t see it as an industry at the time.

Fast-forward to now and I certainly see it as a mature industry. I don’t like to hear people describe the internet as ‹young› or ‹immature› because it’s been around for twenty years in some form or another. The last ten years in particular have been incredible in terms of the industry ‹growing up›.
