What is a website? A Website is an electronic brochure and source of information available to the whole world 24 hours a day. Within the website, each screen of information is called a page. Pages may contain text, or graphic images, or even photographs, sound and video.
A main feature are the "links" embedded within a page that can be clicked with a computer mouse and which transport viewers to other pages. To continue with the brochure analogy, you would normally open a brochure at the front or the back and browse forwards or backwards a page at a time. With a website, the user decides the order they want to see the pages in by clicking the links that interest them.
This interactivity generates a sense of ownership and participation in the user, binding them to the information much more tightly than a traditional brochure. To maximise this benefit, it really needs someone with an understanding of interactive programming to get the best out of creating the electronic pages and links that build the website.

Communication Some big businesses use their websites to keep employees such as sales representatives around the world in touch with head office.

If your business relies on the acquisition or distribution of information, you can't afford not to be online. You will be seen as an up to date, technology aware, organisation. Having a website will help to enforce a leadership organisation. Your Website represents you.
Online Business Sales over the web are also possible via credit card purchases. Alternatively, one of your website pages can be structured as an order form for the customer to print out at home and send back with a cheque. It is also possible to establish real-time sales via credit card purchases.
Information You can use a website to receive information from the Internet. Using the Web to find new suppliers, customers, compare prices and receive product specifications are all very easy. You can even plan your journeys from an interactive website that asks you about your journey details.
Competitive Advantage A well designed website for a small business can have just the same presence on the web as a large international business. Communication, marketing and printing costs are lower too. All businesses see it as the key to keeping ahead of the competition. Website is for all ages, it is the future. It will change the society and the way we do business.
What sort of websites is there? There are many sorts of Websites, ranging from a single page "This is us" offering, through to mammoth Websites like the UK Open Government site, which has several, thousand pages full of information about legislation, taxation, grants and funding, VAT, employment, trade and industry, planning, commerce and so on, together with links to all the government departments and agencies. Websites may be provided by individuals (in which case they are usually called homepages), special interest groups, such as educational establishments like universities, science and research centres, Governments, voluntary organisations, individual retailers, banks and businesses, manufacturers and importers, news, media and financial organisations and multinational corporations. Although the size of the Organisations may differ; each has the same opportunity and scope. A small business can have the same presence and create the same image as a multinational. Each chooses the style and content of its own pages.
