What are the Various Types of Websites?

1. Personal Websites
This type of site is useful for a family, teenagers, grandparents, etc. to stay in touch with each other.

2. Photo Sharing Websites


There are web sites like, Flickr.com,Photosite.com, and Google's Picasa. There could easily be over a hundred such sites
that offer free photo sharing paid for by their online advertising.

3. Writers / Authors Websites


Writer's and Author's websites are part of what's known as the Writer's or Author's Platform in the publishing business.
A writers website would include a biography, a catalog of published books and works, perhaps excerpts from some
works, links to publications on sites like Amazon.com, a link to the writer's blog, reviews and comments on the author's
publications.

4. Community Building Websites


These websites build online communities of people who want to interact with other people socially or meet people who
share their interests. The best known website of this type is probably FaceBook.com. There's also Linkedin.com, and let's
not forget the old MySpace.com just to mention a few.

5. Mobile Device Websites


Websites whose pages are narrower in width and take up less bandwidth work much better for mobile devices. A new
domain designation has been created to identify websites that are "mobile friendly". That is .mobi, as in
www.xislegraphix.mobi, if I had such a site. If you have a small business that would benefit from being viewed on a
mobile devise, you should consider investigating the possibilities of creating a mobile friendly site.

6. Blogging Websites
People took the words Web Logs and shortened it to Blogs—online diaries, journals, or editorials, if you will. A blog
owner will log-on daily, weekly, or whenever, and write about whatever is going on in their lives or business, or they
may comment on politics and news.

7. Informational Websites
A major informational site is wikipedia.org, the online encyclopedia. And it is unique, because it allows members to
contribute and edit articles. You could create a website that lists plants with their definitions and planting and caring
instructions. This would be helpful to people, and you would use it to lead people to your nursery.

8. Online Business Brochure/Catalog Websites


In the days before the Internet, we used the print, radio, and television media to spread the word about our businesses.
Now we can cast a large net, reaching literally millions of people all over the world with just one website. With your
online brochure or catalog, you can show anyone who looks for and finds your website, photos and descriptions of your
products or services.

9. Directory Websites
Just as we used to use the printed Yellow Pages in phone books to find services and businesses, today we have website
directories. The Yellow Pages has one, YP.com. Directories can be dedicated to a certain topic or industry, or they can
encompass geographical areas. Search Engines, such as Google.com andYahoo.com can be considered directories, but
since their databases are so large, rather than searching alphabetically, one enters a search term in the search field.

10. E-commerce Websites


Ever hear of Amazon.com? It's one of the grand-daddies of all e-commerce websites. But you don't have to be an
Amazon to sell your products online. There are millions of small businesses who use their e-commerce websites to sell
their products over the Internet.
