WEB SITE

Web technology is revolutionizing the way companies in general, and even projects in particular, conduct business. A distributed computing architecture, along with user-friendly software (e.g., browsers) and cheaper, more powerful hardware, make Web sites easier to create and maintain.

A Web site, whether for an intranet or the Internet, offers three benefits. One, it provides easier access to information. Two, it encourages greater communication among people. Three, it provides visibility of a product, service, or project.

To maximize the benefits of a Web site, it must address a specific need of a specific audience and must be kept current.

for Building and Maintaining a Web Site

• Define the purpose and audience for the Web site.
• Use audio and graphics to support, not replace, the main purpose.
• Provide the necessary hardware and software to optimize performance.
• Use good grammar and spelling.
• Provide addresses, phone numbers, and contact names.
• Keep links current.
