Abstract

This paper reviews evolution stages of websites and presents framework for websites analysis, based on the evolutionary approach of general systems theory. Development of websites and web-based applications is discussed, according to their historical emergence, usage, increasing complexity and integration of new aspects and principles. Resulting individual stages of this development are suggested in accordance with the evolutionary approach. Framework for websites analysis and evaluation is then presented in a form of criteria list for each defined stage. Website’s maturity (in the meaning of internet’s evolution) can be then determined by confronting these criteria.
