[D343]Different Types Of Websites

by Lonnie Niver, Lon

Are you looking to design your own website? Well, before you start designing your website you should first decide which type of site is right for your particular interest. There are three different types of websites you should be aware of, they are the Informational, Interactive and Trading (e-commerce) sites.

The most common, least expensive and easiest site to design is the Informational site. This site is designed to give web surfers valuable information on a particular subject you may want to share. If your going to design such a site, it must be designed to a target adience. For example, if your subject is geared towards beginners in Autobody repair then the information must be for beginners. Informational sites may also generate revenue by using Google Adsense and Google search if designed correctly. These types of advertisements are placed on your site by Google that focus on the information you place on the site.

The next type of site is the interactive. The interactive sites are designed to allow web surfers interact with the site by leaving feedback, requesting information, downloading software, hardware or images. Surfers can also interact with each other through chat rooms, blogs or message boards. These site can also be profitable by using Google Adsense and Google search.

The third type of site is the Trading (e-commerce) site. Trading sites are becoming more and more popular in the market place. They are designed to sell a particular service and/or product. The Trading sites can be very expensive due to their database design but can be a very profitable marketplace for your product or service. But if you are planning on designing such a site my advice is don't attempt it by yourself, instead get a professional to help you. Because unless you have taking hours of programming the site my not give you the results you are looking for.

If by chance you are a:

Owner of an existing business,

You are planning to start a business,

Are an employee,

Are a hobbyist,

Or have strong opinions about anything

If any of these describe you, a website would benefit you.

Business owners: this should be obvious. With more and more people online every day, you are walking away from sales if you do not have an internet presence.

New or prospective business owners: you should start off right and include a website in your marketing plan from the beginning.

You work for someone else. As an employee, you should be aware of the two different kinds of websites that might be helpful to you.

First off, start a personal website to show what you know. The field does not matter; almost any would benefit from this type of site. A blog is the ideal platform for such a website. If you are job hunting in the future, your website will be a testament to your commitment and knowledge.

Second, if your are employed by a firm of any size at all, you can start a site that addresses some aspect of that firm. You work on this project on your own time. At some strategic point in the future, you casually mention to your supervisor that you are working on this personal project. This will show you are serious about your work and will likely keep you off the chopping block if layoffs or "restructuring" occur in the near future.

Hobbyists: a website is an optimal way of letting the rest of cyberspace know what you are up to.

Social commentator: similar to the hobbyist, if there are causes the you believe in or dislike, a website is one way to get the word out. If you feel it is important that others see your point of view on this subject, put a website up to tell your story.
