Website Ideas

Listed below are some examples of the types of functionality that could be useful for different types of websites. We hope that this will give you an idea of what is possible.

Small or Medium Businesses:

All businesses can benefit from having an online presence. In addition to providing contact info so customers can reach you, you may want to offer descriptions and photos or your products. If you decide to sell your products and services online, you will want a product catalog and online shopping cart system to facilitate purchases. You may want to provide customer support online with an interactive forum, a list of frequently asked questions, a searchable knowledge base, or even a help desk system.

Restaurants:

You may want to post your menu online so that customers can see what you have to offer. A feedback form will allow you to collect customer comments and suggestions. A guestbook will allow for customer testimonials to be posted on your website. If you offer special services or amenities at your restaurant such as catering, parties, or special accommodations, a website will allow you to easily describe what your restaurant offers including pricing. You may even want to take reservations online.

Local Government:

Municipalities may want to post information such as their charter, local office locations and hours of business. The local history and culture can be showcased with text and photos. There can be detailed descriptions of local services such as health & safety, transportation, and tourist information.

Family Portal:

Consider how useful and convenient it would be to have one central location on the web for all of your family members to connect with one another. Your website could be "yourfamilyname.com" and everyone in your family would have an email address like "dad@yourfamilyname.com" or "sally@yourfamilyname.com". Each family member could have their own webpage to post whatever info they might want. You could document information on your familys' genealogy including old family photos. This would be a perfect place to share photos of family gatherings, vacations, new family members, etc.

Sports Teams:

A website for a sports team might include game schedules, headline stories, team rosters including player and team photos, and facts and statistics. There could also be an area for an archive of press releases and other official team correspondence, including audio or video. Team merchandise could also be sold in an online store.

Entertainers:

Almost anyone in the entertainment industry will benefit from an online presence. Whether it's for a local band, comedian, DJ, children's entertainer, artist, model, or film maker, having a website can serve several important functions. Some ideas might be, a calendar of events, online portfolio, a biography page, MP3 songs, upcoming schedule, and more.

Web Logs & Journals:

A web log or online journal is a popular way to get your thoughts and ideas out to the general public. A web log can also be used as a communication tool for families, organizations, businesses, and more. A web log can also be password protected so that only a certain intended audience can post or view.

Place of Worship:

A web site could be a great way for a place of worship to post information such as a schedule of service, a calendar of events, contact information, information about different programs and offerings, and more.
