Usually, users distinguish the Web sites by the function of the site or by its visual appearance. There are many ways to categorize the web sites, but we will identify the basic types of web sites.
1. Personal websites
The personal sites are family based for sharing memories, photos, and diary. Sometime the Internet Service Provider may offer you free server space for you to create your own website with a web address (URL) like this: www.~your-user-name.md. We can also include here artistic or experimental sites and personal Web spaces such as Web logs (also called blogs).
2. Commercial Websites
The Ecommerce sites are the most common Web sites on the Internet. I think many of you know or use ebay.com, makler.md, 999.md – sites that are used to sell products on internet.
3. Online Business Brochure/Catalog Websites
Some categorize this websites under the commercial ones, but we think that it should be separate as there are many businesses that don’t sell product over the web like dentist sites, hair stylist etc. But they have an online brochure or catalog that can help them advertise their website over the internet.
4. Informational Websites
These sites are important for those who need to find a definition or other information for their use. A good example of this site is wikipedia.org, the online encyclopedia. You can find the definition of mostly everything you need with a detailed explanation and examples. This information can be helpful for those who are creating a new thematic website and need to gather more information about that topic.
5. Mobile Device Websites
Mobile devices such as cellphones, PDAs, iPods, iPhones, etc are used for more people every day. The clients who need a website always specify that their website should be seen on mobile device, even if the price is a little higher. When you are investing in mobile device feature you are investing in opportunities and future.
6. Community Building Websites
I think that if we start with couple examples of these kinds of websites it will be easy for you to identify them. So, when we talk about community building websites we mean facebook.com, linkedin.com, my space.com, odnnoklassniki.ru and many others. These websites build online communities of people who want to interact with other people socially or meet people who share their interests. Online forums are also often used for discussing interests and any kind of topic that comes into your mind. Photo sharing sites might also be considered community building sites.
