Some websites may be included in one or more of these categories. For example, a
business website may promote the business's products, but may also host informative
documents, such as white papers. There are also numerous sub-categories to the ones
listed above. For example, a porn site is a specific type of eCommerce site or business
site (that is, it is trying to sell memberships for access to its site). A fan site may be a
Websites are constrained by architectural limits (e.g., the computing power dedicated to
the website). Very large websites, such as Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Google employ many
servers and load balancing equipment such as Cisco Content Services Switches to
In January 2007, Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company that has tracked Web growth
since 1995, reported that there were 106,875,138 Web sites with domain names and
content on them in 2007, compared to just 18,000 Web sites in August 1995.
A web site is a collection of Web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that is
hosted on one or more web servers, usually accessible via the Internet.

The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a common root URL called the
homepage, and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages
organize them into a hierarchy, although the hyperlinks between them control how the
reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different
Some websites require a subscription to access some or all of their content. Examples of
subscription sites include many business sites, parts of many news sites, academic
journal sites, gaming sites, message boards, Web-based e-mail, services, social
networking websites, and sites providing real-time stock market data. Because they
require authentication to view the content they are technically an Intranet site.
HISTORY
The World Wide Web was created in 1990 by CERN engineer, Tim Berners-Lee. On 30
April 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to anyone. Before
the introduction of HTML and HTTP other protocols such as file transfer protocol and the
gopher protocol were used to retrieve individual files from a server. These protocols offer
a simple directory structure which the user navigates and chooses files to download.
Documents were most often presented as plain text files without formatting or were

dedicated to some particular topic or purpose. Any website can contain a hyperlink to
any other website, so the distinction between individual sites, as perceived by the user,
may sometimes be blurred. Websites are written in, or dynamically converted to, HTML
(Hyper Text Markup Language) and are accessed using a software interface classified
as an user agent. Web pages can be viewed or otherwise accessed from a range of

statistics) and Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) is also commonly used.
Website styles
Static Website
A Static Website is one that has web pages stored on the server in the same form as the
user will view them. It is primarily coded in HTML (Hyper-text Markup Language).
A static website is also called a Classic website, a 5-page website or a Brochure website
because it simply presents pre-defined information to the user. It may include information
about a company and its products and services via text, photos, Flash animation,
This type of website usually displays the same information to all visitors, thus the
static website will generally provide consistent, standard information for an extended
period of time. Although the website owner may make updates periodically, it is a manual
process to edit the text, photos and other content and may require basic website design
In summary, visitors are not able to control what information they receive via a static
website, and must instead settle for whatever content the website owner has decided to

quickly create and upload websites to a web server without having to know
anything about HTML, as they just pick a suitable template from a palette and
add pictures and text to it in a DTP-like fashion without ever having to see any
HTML code.
Dynamic website
A Dynamic Website is one that does not have web pages stored on the server in the
same form as the user will view them. Instead, the web page content changes
A website can be dynamic in one of two ways. The first is that the web page code is
constructed dynamically, piece by piece. The second is that the web page content
displayed varies based on certain criteria. The criteria may be pre-defined rules or may

web pages and links. In one way, a data-driven website is similar to a static site because
the information that is presented on the site is still limited to what the website owner has
allowed to be stored in the database (data entered by the owner and/or input by users
and approved by the owner). The advantage is that there is usually a lot more

Software systems
There are a wide range of software systems, such as Java Server Pages (JSP), the PHP
and Perl programming languages, Active Server Pages (ASP), YUMA and ColdFusion
(CFM) that are available to generate dynamic Web systems and dynamic sites. Sites
may also include content that is retrieved from one or more databases or by using XML-

entering credit card or other payment information into a payment form on the site. While
most business websites serve as a shop window for existing brick and mortar
businesses, it is increasingly the case that some websites are businesses in their own
right; that is, the products they offer are only available for purchase on the web.

auction service to list an auction, but also display third-party advertisements on the site,
Spelling
As noted above, there are several different spellings for this term. Although "website"
and "web site" are commonly used (the former especially in British English), the
Chicago Manual of Style, and dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster use the two-word,
initially capitalized spelling Web site. This is because "Web" is not a general term but a
shortened form of World Wide Web. As with many newly created terms, it may take
some time before a common spelling is finalized. (This controversy also applies to
The Canadian Oxford Dictionary and the Canadian Press Stylebook list "website" and
"web page" as the preferred spellings. The Oxford English Dictionary began using
Bill Walsh, the copy chief of The Washington Post's national desk, and one of American

Tips for a PR professional to evaluate the public relations success of their web site.
1. Site map. Site maps are often misunderstood in terms of their usefulness on a web
site. This Webified table of contents is a company’s savior for visitors unable find the
update a site map when new pages are added; linking to a site map from only the
homepage; the belief that a “thin” web site doesn’t deserve a site map; and poor naming.
A site map should always be a “site map” and not “site contents” or “table of contents.”
2. Homepage text. Descriptions of your company, its purpose, and what visitors can
expect from your web site are the best ways to extend the public relations effectiveness
of your site. Failure to communicate this information up-front may create an undesired
experience for first-time visitors, which has a direct impact the bottom line. Be brief in
your descriptions, but don’t cheat your audience by assuming they know your business

able or willing to answer the volume of emails, I recommended the company create a
special section on their web site specifically for students and written with those last-
minute authors in mind. This section became an excellent public relations tool. The
company was able to build a relationship with students who may one day become
consumers of their product, as well as reaching parents who can afford the technology
today.
4. Title tags. A title tag helps readers orient themselves on a web site, especially when
the page they are viewing is not self-explanatory. These tags are also used as headings
when you bookmark a Web page. Titles should be short and simple. Most importantly,
5. Alternative tags. Every graphic on a Web site has the option of having a text-based tag
to display while it is loading. This was more urgent in the days before high-speed
connections when users altered their browser preferences to not load graphics. Although
high-speed connections are now common, alt tags are now necessary for search engine
indexing. To see if your site uses alt tags, rest the cursor of your mouse on a graphic on
your homepage. If a box small box doesn’t appear by your cursor describing the graphic,
create a Web site, continuity of design should be a top priority. Users enjoy their web site
experiences more when navigation is in the same place on every page, naming
conventions say the same, and interior pages incorporate a similar design as the
homepage.

By now most organizations — non-profit or for-profit, large or small — have added a web
presence to their public relations efforts. It’s not enough, however, just to have a web
site. Leaving it dangling out there in cyberspace like a forlorn little planet in a faraway
galaxy is a mistake that’s far too common, even among those in the public relations
game. Your web site can’t work for you unless you first work for it. The following tips will
Don’t Be Invisible
Keep in mind that your web site’s address should be visible on every ad, piece of direct
mail, brochure, sign, and any other form of printed communication you use. A common
mistake is to bury it in the small print near the end of a printed communication. Instead,
display it prominently, with a bold invitation to your clients to visit the site.
If your web site generates income either directly or indirectly, you probably have a higher
budget to help promote it. Consider planning a direct mail campaign designed to drive
traffic to your site, perhaps with a contest or drawing as an incentive. Such mailings
should contain statements that firmly position your web site as a 24-hour-per-day
extension of your company. Tell your clients what they can expect to find there, whether
it’s on-line quotes, lists of helpful tips, current industry news, troubleshooting information,
When it’s time to reprint business cards and letterhead, add your web site’s address to
these items as well. Prospective clients will often visit a web site even if they’re reluctant

to make a call to the sales department. Make it easy for those prospective clients by
One of the best no-cost ways to promote your web site to web-friendly customers and
prospective clients is to link your site to other sites that provide complementary products
and services. For example, if you’re a furniture manufacturer, you may want to link up
with architects and interior designers, or with trade organizations in your industry.
Obtaining permission to link to another site is usually as easy as talking to another public
relations professional, as long as the relationship will be mutually beneficial. Direct links
are probably more effective than banner ads, which tend to elicit response rates of less
than one percent. The more direct links to your site you can place, the more traffic you
Also know as permission-based email, opt-in email campaigns differ from “spamming” in
many ways. While spam is unsolicited bulk email, opt-in email is sent only to recipients
that have given their permission to receive offers from companies that match the areas
of interest they have specified. It is targeted, not random. And because opt-in email
arrives from a recognized source–usually the opt-in marketing house–it is less likely to be
deleted without so much as a glance. Some studies suggest opt-in email campaigns are
information systems, for example–a stepping-stone approach may work for you: An opt-in

How much time and money you put into promoting your web site depends not only on
your available budget, but on the ultimate purpose of the site. Web sites that support the
sales and marketing departments by giving quotes or taking secure orders online are
obviously worth spending a few promotional dollars on. If your web site is geared more
toward offering information and enhancing your image in the community, however, some
