It’s impressive how popular content management has evolved.
In the old days, all you needed was basic static HTML to create a website and a simple idea. Then a few pictures from your home scanner scanned at 72 resolution and you were in business.
Nowadays, the most simple site like a blog system, to be successful it needs planning. Besides planning, it needs fresh content. You need some expertise on a particular subject. A syndication and a marketing plan.
For a regular commercial site, you need a web-master, a developer, a writer, a designer, some knowledgeable person in content architecture to organize a large amount of information, a database manager, a project manager. This is without counting the services of the hosting provider, and the marketing team.
Also you have to deal with legal issues such as copy-writing, user protection laws, etc.
No doubt, we have evolved!
