So what type of Web Site are dealing with you anyway?

The 6 main categories of web sites:

  • Web Based Sales – Selling products on-line / E-commerce
  • Offline Sales – Selling products but on stores or through traditional retail
  • Generating Leads – Getting new business or possible customers
  • Market Awareness – Letting consumers know about a particular product or service
  • Informative or Entertaining – Just for the sake of sharing info or entertainment with others
  • Influential or Persuasion – Trying to influence a person to lean towards a new direction, product or stance

These different types can overlap and be mixed up but realizing what type of site you’re dealing with can make a big difference to how you go about designing the site, marketing it or optimizing it for search engines.

I see KeyTheory.com falls into the Generating Leads, Market Awareness, and Informative categories and will keep that in mind when planning out the rest of the site.
