In the Internet, Business-to-business (business-to-business), like E-biz, is a way of trading products, services, or information between businesses. Although the early hotspots were focused on the retail of the Internet, there are predictions that in the near future, business-to-business earnings will be far more than that of the consumer, according to a 2000 study in which business-to-business ratios were 10:1 per retail. For the next five years, Business-to-business is expected to achieve 41% annual growth.
Business-to-business sites can be divided into five categories: Enterprise sites, product supply and procurement of trading sites, specialized sites, agent sites and information sites.
In addition, a business-to-business enterprise is a software company that develops a business-to-business site, including the development of site architecture tools, templates, databases, methodologies, and trading software.
In the process of writing any column planning, we must first express clearly, the user's needs, that is, we want the total user needs of the site to continue to subdivide, subdivided into each column, each page, is the previous 5 part of the analysis of the results of a specific implementation. For example: http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/10411.html "> Home page user needs, supply and demand of business opportunities column user needs are different, the first pages on the site all visitors, the relationship between the user The first impression of this site, so we will be in the module division to take into account the most common needs of all users of the column to the most important site, or will pay the customer's information to the most important position.

For example, the Information Center column of the industry Business-to-business website, generally includes: Information list, industry topic, industry interview, Industry Weekly, trade show, etc., because they have the same attributes, are to provide industry information, but the expression is different. For example: the content of the user's focus on the aggregation; interview: In the industry for an event or someone to do in-depth interviews. And these two columns, in the early stage of the team did not have the strength to operate, you can give up.

A web site should have a different form for the service object (institution or person). Some sites provide only concise textual information, while others use multimedia techniques to provide gorgeous images, flashing lights, complex page layouts, and even downloadable audio and video clips, while providing a good interactive function, leading users to communicate, contribute and so on. For example: Service to individual career-related needs and personal entertainment needs, is very different expression. At the same time, the main content of this column is the user contribution or site collection, or both have to write out.

In the planning process of the column page, we can not work behind closed doors, must be referred to dozens of or even hundreds of the same type of site, regardless of the layout of the page, or the style of the page, and related functions, we have to learn to reference the same type of site, the so-called standing on the shoulders of giants, Can make oneself plan to stand on a very high level. Every reference site has its advantages and disadvantages, but the premise is that we must want to understand, why they want to do so, they do the advantages of those, shortcomings have those, and through a variety of channels to verify that only we think clearly, can be the right choice, we will make progress, is not in the don't want to clear Chu before all to copy over.
