Types of Website

Their are many types of website we will discuss some of them; The popular  types are:

• Blog site
• Ecommerce website
• Magazine website
• Educational website
• Organization website
• Portfolio  website

Blog website

A blog is an informational website that is owned by an individual or a group of people. The content in a blog is called a “blog post” and the act of adding a blog post is called “blogging“.

Blogs have a highly informal and conversational style of writing and user-friendly navigation designs to engage the readers. A blog is regularly updated by adding new blog posts timely and the newly added posts appear at the top of others (reverse chronological order).

For example, Copyblogger is a popular blog about digital marketing.

You can Create a blog Website  using WordPress, Wix,  Blogger (for these you do not need any developer ) or HTML and CSS (Developer will Required).

Ecommerce Website

An e-commerce website is an online shopping destination where users can purchase products or services from your company.

A robust e-commerce web page makes it easy to browse products, filter by categories, highlight special sales and make purchases.

Magazine site 

A magazine website features articles, photos and videos that are informational and educational. In the last twenty years, the magazine industry has changed from a print-only platform to largely digital format. The magazine website type works well for informational websites, particularly publications from universities and organizations.

As you think about creating a magazine site, start by building a basic framework. Users should see a similar layout no matter what day they land on your homepage, and each article must have a similar layout and navigation. Keep in mind how responsive the overall design is to different screen sizes to make sure your content is easily readable both on desktops and smartphones.

You can create your own magazine website using WIX  or WordPress  CMS. vice.com  is one of the popular  Magazine website. Vice is a Canadian-American magazine focused on lifestyle, arts, culture, and news/politics. Founded in 1994 in Montreal as an alternative punk magazine, the founders later launched the youth media company Vice Media, which consists of divisions including the printed magazine as well as a web pages, broadcast news unit, a film production company, a record label, and a publishing imprint. As of February 2018, the magazine’s editor-in-chief is Ellis Jones

Educational websites

The sites of educational organizations and those providing online courses fall into the class of educational sites. These sites have the essential objective of either giving study materials to visitors or giving data on an educational organization to them. Some educational sites will have ads like entertainment and media sites do. Some offer membership models or educational items for procurement. What’s more, some fill in as the digital presence for an educational organization.

As a result of the expanding interest for these sites, numerous reasonable apparatuses offer this utility. Ordinarily, a knowledge base feature will be incorporated as a piece of online tools, for example, ZenDesk, Intercom, or Freshworks. Be that as it may, there are some web builders like Wix, WordPress, weebly  that offer this usefulness out-of-the-crate.

Academic Earth has a beautiful website that provides many online courses and along with it gives information about various universities. 

Organization Website

Another website type is Organization websites. Resembling business websites, these websites often include a description of the organization, details about the work they do, a gallery of past events 

Organization can take on many forms. Some examples of common websites include church websites, petition websites and often even school websites. While each of these organizations have different purposes, they all can be well represented with a nonprofit. 

If you have a cause that you are looking to promote online, consider using a premade nonprofit template that comes equipped with the web sections you will likely be looking for.

Portfolio  website

Oftentimes, people make use of websites in order to display their own work or skills. Portfolios are the perfect type of website to create in order to do just that. They often contain a gallery which displays your work and text which enables you to explain your expertise and provide details about your work. 

There are myriad types of portfolios that take on slightly different forms depending on the kind of work you have done. For example, you can create anything from a design portfolio to a marketing portfolio depending on your line of work.

Portfolios are often used in conjunction with resumes when applying for a job, or as a sort of business card that enables people to learn more about you. You can start creating your own with the help of these online portfolio templates.
