Imagine having a filing system that could withstand a nuclear
war. Hmm, I wouldn’t like to prove it, but in theory that is
what the Internet could resist with its virtual existence. If
you transfer files of information around the Internet, operating
in virtual space, it would be difficult to lose that information
if you had a mind not to.
Possessing a website has advantages for many varieties of
users; serving a range of different purposes.
For example, Net presence is of enormous benefit to businesses
of all shapes and sizes. Conventional filing systems, where
everything is stored as a hard copy, are cumbersome, and space
consuming. With a website, all existing documents can be
transferred one way or another, to the Internet and neatly
organized using 'hyperlinks' (virtual pathways) for quick, easy
reference. You no longer need to waste your time digging through
a mile high pile of paper to find what your looking for, with
your own website all it takes is the click of a 'mouse'.
A website wouldn’t only save you space and time, but cost too.
The Internet is worldwide and a website can be used as a
powerful promotional and marketing tool, viewed by prospective
clients around the world. One can see what you offer in Hong
Kong and Madrid at the same time.
Imagine the money you’d save on promotional printing costs.
Your website could reach the four corners of the globe and be
available 24 hours a day. There is no longer a need to allocate
high budgets to printing promotional material for prospective
clients, they are able to access the information
instantaneously, and download what they need.
Imagine, neatly organized links that move you, quickly to your
destination.
A website is your identity on the Internet, kind of like an
interactive 'business card'. It can be the prospective client’s
first point of contact, presented by a knockout, easily updated,
design, your site can sell you, your products and your services.
Once you have organised your web site and patted yourself on
the back, that you have made your first flight into
'cyberspace', your next step is to have somewhere to 'dock' it,
a place to put your website. A place such as M6.net -
http://www.m6.net a 'web host' a place to 'host' your web site.
A web hosting company provides a space for you to put your web
page documents (FrontPage, Dreamweaver files), images (gifs,
jpgs), and more advanced pages such as ASP's, those pages that
have intelligence behind them creating such items as forms,
news, bbs, chat; interaction.
If the Host is clever enough, friendly, supportful; it will
offer a whole range of facilities, that you or your webmaster
can take advantage of, to create an interactive, humanised,
mechanised and automated business presence, on the Internet.
For businesses in the new millennium there is no future without
an Internet presence. Trade costs will lower; communication will
get smarter and faster. Reliability will be greater. Thus there
will be a vast gap between businesses with Net presence and
those without.
Every one will have a presence on the Internet some day, wether
it is a corporate business, Aunty Flo's bric-a-brac stall, or
the family's photo library.
