Information web sites are the foundation of the world wide web. They provide information about your organization, products and services. It can range from several pages to hundreds of pages. The majority of web sites on the internet are information sites.
Information sites are place for starting your online presence, as they involve simple production techniques, generally utilize content from your existing publications and information, which have been reproduced and reformatted for the web.
Web sites that encompass database information are more powerful for the visitor. For example, a visitor can browse your product catalog, order products, and then send the order direct to your company. We can integrate almost any database into a new or existing web site.
E-commerce web sites are fast becoming the standard for organizations that are serious about the web. E-commerce sites allow organizations of all sizes to increase market share and gain access to new markets. The most common implementation is selling products or services on the Internet. But, others provide support for customers, value added services, and remote office access to head office systems.
Intranet web sites are web sites that are available on your local area network within your organization. Intranets allow you to disseminate information easily within your organization. However, you can also combine your intranet site and internet site.
For example, a company with an e-commerce internet site receives orders from the web and these orders are placed within a database at your offices automatically. Using your intranet, the order is processed by different departments within your organization, while the customer can track the progress of the order from the internet site.
Another good application for combining intranet and internet sites is for customer support. If your company provides telephone customer support, imagine the cost savings, and improved support performance if questions for your support department are available to your customers on the web.
Site management involves the maintenance of web sites. It is not just limited to keeping the content of a web site up to date. Site management includes content validation, link validation, link and search engine submissions and checks, ranking reports and most importantly error checking.
Many sites can be managed with relative ease. If the content does not change too often, there should not be any errors, so the task of management reverts to the links from and to the site including search engine ranking. Regular checking of error logs and links within the site become essential to maintain a smooth and coherent web site.
