Description and purpose of the website types.

Landing Page

Landing Page, also called landing. This is a one-page site with an application form. May be short or quite long. Suitable for promotions, special offers or 1 to 4 products / services.

Recently, this format became popular for small to medium business card sites of private companies.

Business card site (Promo)

We recommend this type of site for the full representation of the company on the Internet.

Corporate site

Sometimes a corporate site is confused with a business card site or with other sites containing information about the company. In fact, a corporate site is a complex portal of the company, which can host news, articles, vacancies, portfolios, catalogs and price lists. But this is not all ... A distinctive feature of sites of this type is the presence of sections for customers, partners and regular visitors, as well as closed sections for different groups of employees (corporate forums, personal accounts, admin panels with different access rights to information) and etc.

It is created for advertising and promotion of one or a group of goods and services. It is always done with an individual unique design, which should attract attention and be deposited in memory. The volume of the site is from 3 to a maximum of 10 pages (about the company, services, products, contacts).

Internet shop

This is a showcase site with online shopping options. In addition to introducing payment functionality, there should be a convenient basket and a personal account of the buyer to track the status of their orders. Often there are also such features as the choice of delivery method, promotional codes or discount coupons. For the owner of such a site, it is important to be able to conveniently add new products and update prices.

Website gallery (portfolio)

This is also a business card site, but only with a built-in photo gallery. Ideal for artists, photographers and designers. Also used by those who make custom-made products, from cakes to forged products. Recently, it has become popular for beauty salons, which lay out in the portfolio their work with manicure, hairstyles and more.

Storefront site (catalog)
