BROAD WEBSITE CATEGORIES AND THEIR DESIGN FOCUS

There are broad categories and groupings and websites, each having a web design focus different from another.

Informational Website (Web design focus: pure information posting on the Web)
Also called referred to as a brochureware site, the informational web site is the prevalent type of website. The Web is replete of single- to three-page sites that are merely online versions of product catalogs or brochures already printed on paper, especially during the earlier years of the Internet when many people put up sites merely to establish “web presence” for its own sake. Sites in this category soon metamorphose into other categories.

Transactional Website (Web design focus: tasks or transactions)
Designed specifically for tasks or transactions, this type of website provides much room for interaction with visitors.

Take an online bookstore for example. The site displays pictures, descriptions, and prices of book titles in its inventory. The user makes one or more selections and place them into a virtual shopping cart. Before the user makes a final order, he can change the contents of the cart or abort the transaction altogether. If he decides to order, the user goes to a checkout page where he makes payment with his credit card or PayPal account.

Community Website (Web design focus: social interaction)
The popular YouTube website is typical of a community website. The site invites visitors who love online video to become members. Once a member, the visitor can have her own profile, upload her favorite videos for sharing to others, subscribe to videos shared by others, and communicate with other YouTube members through a built-in messaging system.

One common feature found among community sites is the option to comment on and rate uploaded videos, thus enhancing the social interaction dimension of the sites.

Entertainment Website (Web design focus: personal amusement)
At the top of the list in this category are online game sites. A typical website presents an array of games (grouped by categories, like “Action”, “Racing”, “Puzzle”) for the visitor to choose from. The visitor almost always ends up as a member of the site.

Interaction with other members is made possible through the presence of many engaging multiplayer games.
