Service site:
You may be a national heating or plumbing company that would like to link to federation or association i.e. Corgi. Your site would list the services you offer and maybe previous client's recommendations. It would give your contact details and guide prices for servicing central heating systems. The same type of site would be suitable for a local plumber and could be linked to your own federation and linked to local sites. This style of site is ideal for anyone selling his or her services.
Shopping site:
Imagine that you have a retail shop in Evesham selling locally made handicrafts. You may advertise locally or rely on passing trade. Now let's open your market place up nationally or internationally by offering your products through a web site with a shopping basket catalogue. As long as your products are suitably packed for postal or carriers drop to the customer you can offer your products to millions of potential customers.
Corporate site:
How often do you update your customers or shareholders of the progress of your company? With a corporate web site you have the opportunity of updating them by the minute if required, imagine your costs of mailing all your clients or placing a national press advertisement to advise them. Maybe you want to showcase your company farther a field than just the UK With a web site and quality registering with International search engines you open your company up to over 100 million Internet users world-wide.
Catalogue site:
Just take this example, you are a manufacturer of activity products and you would like to attract more stockists. By showing a portfolio of your products and by offering them an e-mail service to request your catalogue for full details, you in seconds have obtained a lead that can be followed up after they have received it.
