A business would most likely use a website to be more popular, more known and then that will get more customers or sometimes to sell things like Amazon or Ebay. Advertising is important for a business to be albe to sell items.
GOV.UK: GOV.UK is a very useful website that allows you to look up information that will help you for example driving transport and travel, education and learning, money and tax, local services or jobs and pensions. This website gives you all this information that will help you will life in general. You could go to education for example and it will tell you about all the different courses and qualifications.
Ebay: This is an online shopping website that you can purchase items from, you can buy from a big variety. It is very simple to use and you can either serach for what you want in the search bar or there are tabs at the side of examples of things to search and the shipping is usually very quick, there is always an image of the item and information about it and what to expect so you just need click buy now on an item you want to buy and enter in your details to buy it and the item will be sent straight away. Sometimes items are bidding only which means you have to put bids on instead you can't just buy it straight away and when you search for items it gives you the choice whether you want to search for buy it now items or bidding, sometimes bidding can be cheaper.
Facebook: Facebook is a website that lets people talk to each other and lets you meet new people, it allows you to post photo's and chat online to your friends or other people that you dont know. You can also play games on Facebook and it lets you video chat live. It can be used to promote a business or organization. Famous athletes use it and can have fans following them on their profile and keeping track of what they do similar to twitter which is also a website for communicating.
Customer Facing Website
All of the wesbites that I looked at above like facebook and ebay, these are examples of customer facing websites, this means a lot of commercial and public service websites are desinged and created with the customers. These are called Customer facing websites and other websites are designed for a more limited audience or could be the people that work in the company.
Some more examples are:
Travel agency: A company that makes arrangments for you to travel to places, they can look up information about hoilidays on their computers and help you with traveling and planning where you stay.
Insurance company: A company that you pay insurance money to and if you have an accident they can help you pay for it, the price is likely to decrease each year if you don't have an accidents.
Payments & Shipping: Payment online is taken from card details and taken out of an account and then shipped, some countries only ship to a certain country so you need to check that before you purchase, shipping will cost an extra amount of money on top of the item that was purchased and you can even pay more money for first class shipping which should make the item arrive within a few days depending on what country it is coming from.
2. Internal Websites
Intranet: The Intranet is a website that only people within the business can use, like moodle because only college students can access moodle in the college and download work booklets and information, we can see deadlines for assignments and print assignments, no one else can outside of the college because its college personal information so it is a website that is setup for certain people in a business or organization.
Information Repositories: Many organizations a lot of different documents that is accessible from the Web.They may choose to put these on publics websites even when the main users are members or employees and these stores of information repositories. One of the best known is Hansard which contains the text of everything that is in the house of commons during debates.
Training Facilities: This could be a website that will provide training information like tutorials that will train the employee more for the job and help with the particular skills that they need, its a training programe made to help employees.
Non Commercial: These are websites that are non commercial and non profit, sometimes they cost money to publish and through the creators finance. Some examples of a non commercial websites are: clubs & parties, advice & guidance, educational, charites or personal pages like a blog or diary.
