What Is A Website?



What Is
A WebSite?



A Website is many things to many people. This really depends on what your goals are for the Website. In general, a Website is composed of a series of pages that may have varying functions. On a simple level the Website can be like a sign for your business. Just like you would have some type of signage on the outside of your place of business so too can be a website. A Website can act like a billboard that advertises certain facets of your business. It can be an educational device to bring information to the public. It can act as a communication device much like the phone in that the public can use it to contact you. You can conduct business on a website in a similar way that mail-order works. On a much more complex level it can be totally interactive with the public allowing you a freedom to explore entirely unique functionality specific to this medium that no other medium can offer. For example you can take an order for some product from your website or conduct an important survey to your business. You are also of course not limited by physical location because any person in the world that has internet access can visit your site.



What Can
Be Done?



Almost anything that you can imagine! This is still a very new medium with which to interact with the public and the playing field is wide open for those that are creative. For example;

Certainly you can use these type of 'pop-up' windows to highlight any facet of your business. By making your website interesting to look at while supplying useful information to the viewer, you make the experience enjoyable for the visitor while creating an environment that is comfortable to utilize your services or buy your product. By maintaining a current and updated website, people will enjoy returning to your website in the future. People also share useful and interesting websites with their friends.



What Should Be
On A WebSite?



There are many opinions as to what should be on a website. The real important issues with respect to website design boil down to three points. The website needs to download quickly because people that surf the web are rather impatient. The website should also be visually dynamic and easily navigated. The third and probably most important factor is content. The content on your website must be informative, current, accurate and of interest to the reader. When your website has the appropriate content, internet traffic will be constant. Constant traffic at your site is how your site will accomplish its goal - education, convenient interaction, or sales of product.
