What is a Web site ?
A web site is simply a series of pages that are electronically
placed on a computer that can then be accessed by anyone in
the World. Your pages can be animated, full colour, interactive
and changed at very low cost and can be any size. Typically
a page is A4 width but can be 6ft long, surfers scrolling down
as they go.
You have a "home" page. This links you to the world.
Surfers go this home page first, and then navigate through the
rest of your Web site.
Your site can be one page or one hundred ! If you are a larger
business you can even use your web site internally (an intranet)
to disseminate information. All your sales staff can work from
the same document on your intranet. No more multiple copies
of the latest prices. Publish once, on your intranet !
The internet is a superb medium through which you can provide
large amounts of information about a wide range of topics. The
use of interactive techniques can enhance the appearance of
the site and make information more accessible to visitors. The
opportunities for creating entirely new businesses are vast.
But it is the fear of loosing your existing business that should
be a prime motivator for having a web site.
" Its like the story of two guys camping in the Jungle
who suddenly see a tiger approaching them. One of the guys quickly
puts on his running shoes. The other guy asks,
"Do you really think those shoes will make you
run faster than the tiger ?"
"I don't have to outrun the tiger" comes the reply.
"I have just have to outrun you ! "
The Web is the running shoe that can keep you ahead of the
competition.
