 by: Florie Lyn Masarate

No two web sites are the same. This would be a known fact by the surfers who already have experiences in browsing and going over many sites. There may be many similarities, in terms of categories and designs, but that is where it ends. Web sites are also classified according to what they cater to and the kind of information and service they give. Here are some of the different kinds of site.

Company profile sites. This is the site where a certain company or business displays an extension about their profile and information that may have been stated initially in the printed materials that they have. Customers come here for the needed assistance about product and services. This kind of site is not necessarily the site where companies make promotions and marketing.

E-business web sites. These sites are enabled with e-commerce transactional abilities which allow online selling of products and services from the websites. Examples of these sites are yahoo and rediff. These sites are equipped with highly secure software programs and databases that run on backend. For those who have tight and less budgets, some sites offer pre-packaged e-commerce solutions.

Social and community-based web sites. These sites showcase topics with social relevance. Some created by people that have common interests. People come to these sites for a specific purpose that is relatively the same as the others. For those who do not share the same interests, visiting this kind of site would not at all adhere to their tastes and likes.

Vortal or portal sites. Where you can find a variety and assortment of many topics all in one site. If you put it into perspective, this is like an online encyclopedia, where people can look to find just about anything. The main purpose for this kind of sites may be to help readers look for the relevant information they need without having to go through many sites and without having to search everywhere. The topics and information put into this vortals or portals are already tailored firsthand to in accordance to the different kinds of readers that might visit them.

Knowing the different kind of sites and what they specialize in would help a lot in the process of finding what you need to know. With more and more sites being created everyday, choosing the right one perfect for your needs is not necessarily an easy task. Can be a cause of confusion and makes decision making hard. The thing to remember is knowing first before going.
