Sites and goals of their design
Sites are designed for numerous purposes. The most popular goals of site design are:
-
Business expansion. This applies to commercial sites.
By far, this is the main reason for designing sites, both simple and complex, for large and prosperous firms and companies. Today a representative office on the web is not just useful, but vital to companies!
Commercial sites can serve a number of goals, such as:
-
provide for appropriate representation of a company (organization) on the Internet;
,
-
introduce products and services;
-
distribute information about performance of the company and of the given industry;
-
attract new customers and partners;
-
run e-business.
-
To benefit from advertising
You should understand that for your site to be attractive to potential ad posters, it should have good traffic, at least 100 visitors per 24h, to begin with. In other words, to make money on advertising you should properly promote your site, which in its turn requires time and effort.
-
To increase audience awareness in particular issues.
This may refer to sites dedicated to hobbies, such as healthy lifestyle, gardening, pot flowers, esoterics. These sites help to find like-minded people; they often feature various forums and develop quickly, if managed by inspired individuals.
-
To make a statement. This applies to personal (individual) sites.
These sites are designed for people who have achieved certain success in a particular field and who want to tell the world about such achievements. Among these are personal sites of writers, painters, artists, musicians, scientists etc.
Website of a company is, first of all, its advertising tool. A bright, standing out and catchy site can easily draw the attention of Internet users and become their guide in the search for specific products, services or companies.
