A Website is space on a computer where anyone who subscribes can say “This is me, this is what I do, or what I am interested in, what I know, or what I can sell you”. An electronic brochure and source of information available to the whole world 24 hours a day.
Within the website, each screenful of information is called a page. Pages may contain text, or graphic images, or even photographs, sound and video.A main feature are the “links” embedded within a page that can be clicked with a computer mouse and which transport viewers to other pages. To continue with the brochure analogy, you would normally open a brochure at the front or the back and browse forwards or backwards a page at a time. With a website, the user decides the order they want to see the pages in by clicking the links that interest them.
This interactivity generates a sense of ownership and participation in the user, binding them to the information much more tightly than a traditional brochure.To maximise this benefit, it really needs someone with an understanding of interactive programming to get the best out of creating the electronic pages and links that build the website.Generally, people look at websites for two primary reasons:
- To find information they need. This could be anything from a student looking for pictures of frogs for a school project, to finding the latest stock quotes, to getting the address of the nearest Thai restaurant.
- To complete a task. Visitors may want to buy the latest best-seller, download a software program, or participate in an online discussion about a favorite hobby.
The main thing to remember in creating a website is that you’re not creating the website for you; you already know about the information or service you have to offer. You’re creating the site for your visitors, so it should contain the content they want, and be organized in a way that makes sense, even to an outsider.We’ll tell you how to create and improve your website in further articles, but the main thing to remember is this: A website is a means of communication, and it is only successful when its message is received by the intended user.
There are still people wondering whether their business really needs a website. Or they say: we do not have a business, but a not-for-profit organization: should we have a website? Definitely! I could easily come up with many reasons why you need a website:
- Promote Your Products
A website allows you to showcase your products for everyone to see. You can explain the benefits, compare it with other products, or show testimonials of happy customers that already bought the product. - Promote Your Services
It is hard to showcase services in a store, or office. The web allows you to introduce the service, the professionals providing the service, and how several services can complement each other. - Promote Your Organization
People buy from people. People support organizations and causes that they believe in. A website is a fantastic tool to promote an organization and build trust – that is, if you do it right… A well-developed website can convey trust and credibility, making people to buy from you, or support you. - Promote Yourself
Whether you are a professional looking for a job, or an expert in your industry: you can show that to the whole world by having a comprehensive website. The use of an associated email address also increases perceived professionalism: a letter from someone at me-the-expert.com will certainly open more doors than an email from a hotmail account. - Sell Your Events
Want to take it a step further? You may even want to consider selling (or pre-ordering) tickets for your events on a website. Shorter line-ups, less expenses: it sounds like a good idea to me… - Sell Your Services
A website can be a great tool to not only promote, but also actually sell your services. You can automate many repetitive tasks, such as registration, billing, collecting and much more. Whether you are selling phone services or speaking engagements: you can effectively do it with a website. - Sell Your Products
A few years ago, after all the dot-boms, people lost faith in e-commerce. Now e-commerce is booming. Gift moments like Christmas and Valentine’s Day show record sales numbers, and money-guzzling giants like Amazon are starting to make money. Offering a great user-experience and minding usability is the key to success. - Improve Branding
Branding is a way to differentiate your product, service or company from its competition, and create loyalty. The content of a website, its style and tools such as newsletters allow for many ways to differentiate yourself, make the visitor feel good about you, and build loyalty. More worrisome: if you do not do this, a competitor may snatch not only your prospects sales, but also their loyalty away from you with their website! Eat, or be eaten! - Reach A National Market
Political campaigns are just one example where websites are being used to service a National audience. Offering a National specific version of your product, such as Tylenol.ca, is another one. This allows you to offer information about specific national tax and delivery charges, or appeal to National pride. - Reach An International Market
If you target specific International markets it may be highly effective to design dedicated websites for them. By targeting your US customers on a “,com” site while servicing your Canadian clients with a “.ca” site you are able to cater to the specific needs and expectations. It allows you to avoid confusion by separating different currencies, taxes, fees and prices onto different websites. You may even want to consider offering websites in different languages, such as a specialized “.nl” website, in Dutch, for your loyal customers in The Netherlands. - Educate
Online education can be very effective; more and more people are taking courses over the Internet. If you provide workshops, or complete courses, you may consider offering them online too. - Update Information Quickly
Catalogs have been around for a long time, and they still prove to be successful. Newspapers are still a popular way to find out what is going on in the world. They have one major disadvantage, though: you cannot update them very quickly. A website, however, allows you to make changes almost instantly. - Promote Your Ideas
Political campaigns are now all over the web. A website can be a powerful way to promote your ideas, and build a following of like-minded people. Or you can just write online journals (“blogs”) to ventilate some of your thoughts and concerns. - Build A Community
Want to be perceived as a leader? Want people talking about you, or provide a platform for people to share ideas and ideologies? A website, especially with a forum or bulletinboard, can be a great help in building an online community. It may even be the cement that keeps an offline community together, because of its empowering character and 24/7 availability.
- Promote Your Products
Domain Name System, or DNS, is the most recognized system for assigning addresses to Internet web servers. Somewhat like international phone numbers, the domain name system helps to give every Internet server a memorable and easy-to-spell address. Simultaneously, the domain names keep the really technical IP address invisible for most viewers.There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
- gov – Government agencies
- edu – Educational institutions
- org – Organizations (nonprofit)
- mil – Military
- com – commercial business
- net – Network organizations
- ca – Canada
- th – Thailand
- info – Information
All you need to do is to let us know the domain name (com or .net or .org.) you wish to obtain and book for your website to use, and we shall check whether the same is available for you. We would also be most willing to suggest possible alternatives based on your original request.
We can register an available domain name i.e. which has not already been booked by any other party on the Internet, be it a .com or .net or .org. You’d be asked to provide your various contact and technical information & to pay a nominal fee of USD 10.00 for 1 domain which will hold your rights to use it for a period of 1 year. You could also go ahead and book the domain for as many years as you like in one go.
Web hosting simply means putting your website (or websites) on a server which has a connection (preferably a high speed connection) to the internet. You connect to the server using FTP to upload files and maintain your site but you don’t have to worry about internet connectivity, security and maintenance of the server (although you may choose to do so if using a dedicated server).
You usually have choice between Linux Hosting and Windows hosting. This refers to the operating system used on the server and has no connection with the operating system of your PC. Linux powers most of the internet and is the best choice unless you need Windows hosting (usually this would be because you have had a site built for you and the developers have specified windows hosting).
It stands for “universal resource locator”. This is the address typed in to view your web page on the Internet. For example, you would type in http://oxosolutions.com or http://www.oxosolutions.com to access our home page.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a set of activities aiming to improve the visibility of a website in organic search results (also referred to as non-paid or natural search results) for a specified set of keyphrases (search queries selected for promotion).SEO is one of the most efficient strategies for getting maximum benefit from your online presence. A company that offers such services is called an SEO company.
Search engines use specific algorithms to determine what website will be ranked higher for some particular query in search results. These algorithms are kept strictly confidential, but their general concepts and principles can be found if you spend some time and analyze search engine behavior.
These algorithms are constantly changing, so you will have to constantly track these changes. Besides there are some prohibited SEO techniques that you should know if you do not want to be penalized by search engines. That is why it is still better to order SEO services from some SEO experts, if possible.

Use of an SSL digital certificate assures website users of 3 things:
1. That the website really is who it claims to be.
2. That credit card numbers and other confidential information is encrypted (128bit or higher) and cannot be intercepted.
3. That the data sent and received cannot be tampered with or forged.SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for setting up an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures the privacy of all data passed between the web server and browsers.
An SSL certificate enables a web server to create an SSL connection. SSL certificates are expected by consumers for any site that handles sensitive information like identity information, credit card numbers, or confidential records.
