(2) Using these sites and any others that you are aware of, comment on how the level of sophistication and the forms of digital projects have changed in the last fifteen years
Over the years a few of the sites have adapted to the change in how the world would like to see sites and how they would navigate through the site. For an example, Oyez (created in 1955) has adapted to the changes. The site was very pleasing to the eye with it's sleek features and how easily it was to navigate around. One that had become a little confusing to me was Amiens Cathedral Project. Although very minimalist, it was a little bit harder to navigate for information. However, it was very interesting with the drawings, pictures, and such. Lascaux was a bit confusing as well, but it was better once I was able to get the site to be translated. All the sites were unique and very individual, but as time goes on, either the sites will adapt or they will keep to their own ways.
