e-Commerce website
An e-commerce website is one that allows people to buy and sell physical goods, services, and digital products over the internet rather than at a brick-and-mortar location. Through an e-commerce website, a business can process orders, accept payments, manage shipping and logistics, and provide customer service.
Business website
A business website generally serves as a space to provide general information about your company or a direct platform for e-commerce.
Blog website
A blog (short for “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website run by an individual, group, or corporation that offers regularly updated content (blog post) about a topic. It presents information in reverse chronological order and it’s written in an informal or conversational style.
Portfolio website
A portfolio website is a unique way to showcase your work and let others know about yourself. It’s like an evergreen platform for your projects, case studies, and information about you. In addition, it’s one of the best ways to express your personality, experience, and capabilities.
Personal website
Personal web pages are primarily used for informative or entertainment purposes but can also be used for personal career marketing (by containing a list of the individual’s skills, and experience), social networking with other people with shared interests, or as a space for personal expression.
Membership website
In its simplest form, a membership website is a gated site that includes members-only content. They’re used by nonprofits, clubs, associations and even businesses to “gate” content that only members have access to in order to provide additional value.
Nonprofit website
Your nonprofit website is the hub of your mission online. It’s where you house your donation form, direct users to learn more about your cause, and promote your fundraising campaigns. Because of that, you’ll want to spend time creating a site that encapsulates your cause and provides a positive user experience.
