A Website, in simple terms, is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. Designing a website involves careful planning and consideration, especially if you want to give a good impression with your site. A website might be compared to a book (or in the case of business sites, a catalogue) where each page of the book is a web page on that site.

There are many aspects or design concerns to consider in this process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new possibilities, as well as hurdles to be overcome are constantly developing. For non-commercial web sites, the goals for that site may vary depending on the desired exposure and response – some small personal sites have a very specific targeted audience and are easily found due to lack of alternative sources of that information on the web.
