A brief introduction to website classification

After more than 10 years of vigorous development of the Internet, today has a lot of various web sites. It is these websites that created the colorful world of cyberspace. Some of these websites invest only one thousand or two thousand yuan, some investment move is billions, where is the difference between them? To solve this problem, we first need to have a Web site classification method of these diverse sites to classify. Now the formation of the site classification method with a very strong Yahoo brand, mostly similar to the site according to the nature of the subject is divided into government websites, corporate websites, business sites, educational research institutions, personal sites, other non-profit organizations and other types of websites. But this classification method is too superficial, it is not helpful for our further analysis. It is clear that the same level of government websites, the Ministry of Agriculture's website and the Foreign Ministry's website are qualitative differences both in terms of investment size and technical content. Combined with the experience of the website development in recent years, as well as the analysis and summary of the main well-known websites in China, I have made an attempt, hoping to classify the website from a new angle to help the planners of the website.

To explore the classification of the site, you must first review the definition of the site. There is currently no widely accepted definition of a website. I am not in favor of the many existing definitions that will link websites with the internet, with domain names, and HTML necessarily. For example, the "intranet site" used by many units, such as banks and armies, in the intranet. The result of such a definition must be the impression of a person's foot-cutting. But now the web technology is still in a high-speed development period, to give the site a more accurate definition, must have a good look forward, this is not the purpose of this article. Instead, give the site two iconic usage features:

1, users can obtain the information and service provided by the website through the browser.

2, users in the browser to enter only one address, whether this address is a domain name or IP address or other, you can use the Web site to provide services.

Because there is no basis for the definition of the site, so the Web site classification provided by this article, its logic is also not strict. This is expected to be understood by the reader.

According to the service provided by the website, we can divide the website into: The information type website, the transaction type website, the interactive Game class website, the paid service type website, the function type website, the comprehensive class website, the Office class website. Because the services provided are different, the functionality required to include is different. Such a classification perspective, should be able to help the location of the site. The classification of the site is not clear, will bring the ambiguity of site positioning, so the effect of the input will be passable.

Information Web site: The main purpose of this kind of Web site is to provide information, the main purpose of its website investors is to create a brochure on the Internet, do not require the implementation of business or work logic. This kind of website contains the function is relatively simple, usually contains the function has the search, the forum, the message, but also has some to provide the simple browsing authority control, if many enterprise website has only to the agent opening column or the channel. This kind of Web site technology framework is simple, development workload is mainly related to three factors: 1, the type of information hosted. such as whether to host multimedia information, whether or not to host structured information. 2, the way and flow of information dissemination. 3, the amount of information quantity level. Most government and corporate websites now belong to such websites.

Trading Sites: The E-commerce site that people usually understand. The reason why not directly called E-commerce site, because now according to the formal definition of e-commerce, its extension is much larger than this. This type of Web site is for the purpose of achieving transactions, order-centric. There are three content that this kind of website must realize: 1, how to show the goods; 2, how to generate the order; 3. How to execute the order

The key to the success of such a website is the pros and cons of the business model. This kind of website is the most famous when the number of Amazon, domestic when, excellence is one of the best. Enterprises to cooperate with their own marketing plans to build E-commerce platform, but also belong to such sites, such as Haier's online mall: www.ehair.com. But like Lenovo on its own official website Www.lenovo.com directly into the ordering function, such a site does not belong to this type of site, because the implementation of transactions is not its main purpose. According to this article's classification method, www.lenovo.com should belong to the comprehensive website.

Interactive game site: This is in recent years the domestic gradually swept up a kind of website. Its representative has the website has the legend, the Chinese paladin sentiment, the union public and so on. The input of such a website is based on the complexity of the host game. Now the trend is to super mega direction, some of this type of Web site has formed an independent network of the world, so that the total number of players do not think of the industry. A lot of the input of the website is very astonishing.

Paid Information type website: This kind of website's leader like 101 schools and so on. They are similar to information-related websites and are mainly for providing information. The difference is that the information they provide is required to have a direct return, because of this, the site has a business model. The usual practice is to ask the visitor or the times, or by the time, or by the amount paid. Most of the fees for pornographic sites belong to such websites.

Functional Web site: This is the last two years a development of a Web site, the most famous representative is Google. It is characterized by the expansion of a function with a wide range of requirements, the development of a strong support system, the realization of this function to the extreme value. This kind of web site seems to be a simple page implementation, but often need a pretty amazing investment. People cloud "a recruit fresh, eat the day", want to put a seemingly everyone's function to do most people difficult to reach, it is not easy. Domestic hundred Watanabe, Tenkine, Air network, Tsinghua BBS, etc. belong to this type of website. 3721 Although also provide "Internet Assistant" and other functions, but it is mainly to provide Chinese domain name resolution is well-known, so it should be counted as such sites.

Comprehensive categories of Web sites: such as Yahoo, Sina, Sohu and so on. They are not referred to as portals because, after two or three years of development, the role of the portal has lost its importance in their place. In Internet users, the role of its portal has been largely replaced by Google, Baidu and other professional collection of cable engine. The common feature of this type of site is to provide more than two typical services, such as Sina Sohu how many typical services to provide a general visitor is difficult to understand. This kind of web site can be regarded as a website service of the hypermarket, different services by different service providers to provide. The home page of such a website is designed to include as many services as possible, generally looking very crowded. Because of this type of power, so many other types of Web site home designer, have produced an illusion, as if not the first page stuffed can not be counted as home. It didn't change until Google's rise.

Office site: This is the B/s structure to continue to develop the B/S into C/s to return the inevitable result. Most of the existing OA systems are C/s structure, the OA system constructed with B/s structure is called Web OA. Web OA's Web site is also naturally named as an office site. At present, many units of intranet sites should also be counted as information sites, if they add a multi-level authority control function, to serve an office management way of development, it will become such office sites.

The internet is still in a fast growing period and new applications are emerging. The above description can only be seen as a scan of the summary, negligence, omission is inevitable. Relative to the subject of the site to classify, I think this classification of this article will bring more useful help to the location of the site.
