categories of websites

A website^[1] is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server. A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that identifies the site.

Websites can have many functions and can be used in various fashions; a website can be a personal website, a corporate website for a company, a government website, an organization website, etc. Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, ranging from entertainment and social networking to providing news and education. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web, while private websites, such as a company's website for its employees, are typically a part of an intranet.

Web pages, which are the building blocks of websites, are documents, typically composed in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). They may incorporate elements from other websites with suitable markup anchors. Web pages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may optionally employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security and privacy for the user. The user's application, often a web browser, renders the page content according to its HTML markup instructions onto a display terminal.

Hyperlinking between web pages conveys to the reader the site structure and guides the navigation of the site, which often starts with a home page containing a directory of the site web content. Some websites require user registration or subscription to access content. Examples of subscription websites include many business sites, news websites, academic journal websites, gaming websites, file-sharing websites, message boards, web-based email, social networking websites, websites providing real-time stock market data, as well as sites providing various other services. As of 2018, end users can access websites on a range of devices, including desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers, smartphones and smart

cons

• Traffic build up

You need to have a good team who can increase your traffic. Once the traffic goes down, the sales are affected which is not good to your company. To have this up and running, you need to have people working, checking, and updating you with the status of your business. Invest in professionals to ensure better online branding.

• Impersonal approach to customers

Some customers prefer having their complaints answered face-to-face than have a customer service representative on the phone. People feel less confident to business that just sends email as a response to feedbacks on their products. To avoid this, it would be much better to drop a personal call to the customer or meet them online or personally if possible.

Though the Internet has brought a lot of convenience to mankind, let us not forget that it can still have its drawbacks. To avoid such, plan carefully in building up your website. Get people who know what they are doing and are professionals on their field. Make sure to choose only the best web design company!
