Websites: What are they?

In his famous book, 'The Third Wave', Author Alvin Toffler predicted, with great vision and uncanny foresight, the rise of the third revolution in the history of mankind - the Information Technology Revolution. But what transpired in the next 10-12 years might have surprised even a great visionary like Alvin Toffler. Like the proverbial genie let out of the bottle, Information Technology surged forward, knowing no bounds. What exactly changed the very face of humanity was the advent of the Internet, ubiquitous and all pervading. The popular query Websites, what are they? Has been answered by Time and Excellone Web Solutions Development Company, India has put efforts to promote the need for websites and the fact that Websites are the gateways to Internet exploration.

The Internet has opened a whole new vista of enormous possibilities to connect the world, hitherto unknown and unexplored. As the Internet grew increasingly popular, yet another door has opened revealing business opportunities - sales, promotion and dissemination of knowledge. The phenomenon called websites established itself in no time as the most economical yet most accessible web solution to the fast-developing business world. Websites, what are they? Websites are essentially an online office of an individual, company, organization, government or virtually any thing under the sun. Everything about the entity is stored in an off-site server, as a single page or as several pages. The contents include written data, graphics, multimedia and so many other add-ons.

Each website is designed with specific purposes in mind, namely, free knowledge distribution, business promotion, revenue generation and even propaganda. The entity has to hire / rent server space to host its Website. It has to have a domain name and the domain name has to be registered. Typically a website of a company engaged in computer software would contain information on the company, its services, the people behind it., its location and how to contact it. Websites are indeed gateways to Internet exploration. A website acts as a sort of portal in order to know the company better and deal with it. As the concept of owning websites has caught on pretty fast, it is unimaginable that a company or firm does not have any website. Today websites are a lot more than mere status symbols or symbols of progress. The need for one's own website is felt today more than ever.

More on Websites

Websites are functional for almost everything that a global community can think of. One can gather information, read a reference book, ask queries, search any subject, advertise, sell, buy and even hack, through a website.

The very definition of website has undergone a sea change in such a short span of time. Today everything is put on the web. Rather than asking "websites, what are they?" people are now asking where they can get a website. The need for websites is felt now more than ever, since the whole world understands websites as gateways of Internet exploration. The users of websites have multiplied from the mere handful a decade ago to billions of netizens today.

The quality of the design, the quality of the content and other components of the website are far more superior to those of the yesteryears. Breath-taking visuals, smooth graphics and the flowing content make today's websites, an unforgettable experience. The advent of the Internet first and the Website later, has made the world much smaller and available from anywhere at the mere touch of a few keys on the computer keyboard.

Software tools, which get better by the minute, are freely available, for the creation of super quality websites. Mark up languages, graphic tools, Internet protocols and many more net-intensive tools have made the creation and design of a website worthwhile and rewarding. The business done through the websites and the revenue thus generated has increased manifold over the past five years. Development of new safe encrypted server links cause the net-based transactions find favor with a large number of business houses and above all, ordinary individuals.

E-commerce has flourished through dedicated websites, designed specially as e-payment gateways. B2B, B2C and such activities could do faster and safer through safe websites. The confidence, trust and faith in the integrity of transactions through websites, has increased and the uncertainties and reservations in the minds of the business community has evaporated overnight.

Popularity and extensive usage has necessitated the need for innovations and inventions. Peer-to-Peer computing soon replaced the Server-client concept and Web-service providers have mushroomed all over the world. But Netlife and websites were not all milk and honey. The bitterness and the bad taste in the mouth came quite unexpected. A new breed of young generation came of age and wrote programmes, which came to be known as "Viruses"; unleashing terror through the infinite space of the Internet. No website could claim 100% immunity from the attack of these self-multiplying, self-propagating, vicious programs that could undo in a jiffy all that was made through hours of relentless toil.

The much - vaunted 'safe' myth was exploded by perverted geniuses who found ways to gain access to the highly protected Websites and mutilate the content. The process fashionably known as hacking became the pass time of senile, putrid, diseased minds. Much like the wars of the real world, the virtual space was marred by these mindless acts. But such small things could never permanently tie down the human spirit and its endeavor. Notwithstanding these acts of vandalism, the net life continues at a very fast pace and websites, today contribute significantly to the quality and speed of the business generated.

Being the hub of global trade and commerce today, websites act as true portals of knowledge. They have transformed themselves from being mere brochures to vibrant vortices of bustling activity and flourishing e-trade. With computer hardware and the application software developing at break-neck speeds, it is not too difficult envisage a day in the very near future, when 100% all business activities, educations, medicine, law and every facet of human life, would be conducted through websites ably supported by lightning fast net connection. Websites are now the be-all and end-all of net-business.
