What can a website do to your business? Have you heard of a Family Website? A website can be differentiated by purpose, by content, by navigation, by the kind of IP, or by utility. By purpose means you focus on the information you wish to convey to the public. The text and images on the website provides a clear definition of what it is. An example would be a Family Website, wherein you see a picture of the family and typically a description of each members' character and person on the home page. It always has a house picture depicting the quality of the family's home. The general colour of these sites are prime, suggestive of happiness and bliss. Somewhat intriguing to me is, seldom do they have video links; but for those which has, these are mostly of the travels of the family or a members escapade.

I am surprised it showcases the personal side of people now. The usual purpose were for advertisements in general, and shopping for e-commerce, and information for G2Ps. How come it became so personal and I am expecting to find individuals' resume in website format soon? Not far away in the future, in fact presently, the social sites are capable of linking one from our accounts. Why has the website evolved outside of business and has touched our personal space?

I believe that some of the factors may be evident in how the world has changed in terms of technology, and with the heightened consciousness we have now translated into economies of scale allowing us to avail of the innovation. I now can afford to host my site, when before we count the price versus the bandwidth and the amount of data it may accommodate per second. Somehow it became so common to setup servers using even desktops, and the infrastructure to store data became commercially efficient in tandem with innovations in telecommunication. These improvements has allowed the marginal cost per bandwidth to decrease.

Hosting a site today will cost you less than USD50 per month. Not only has it become cheap, there are webdesign softwares that bundles this service already. Depending on your expected traffic and engagements, these software packages will be just right for you. You see, not only did technology improved, innovations in translating programming html or C++ into user friendly interfaces, making me capable to drag-and-place pics, highlight text and write directly into a webpage, change the properties of pages, and allowing me to patch payment gateway protocols and snippets makes the fun easy to achieve.

Today, businesses are not the only ones who can afford a website. The affordability has become so immaterial, the cost is a give-away. And so, do you really mind the price of being in this world of the internet?
