Overview

Websites can be used in various fashions: a personal website, a corporate website for a company, a
government website, an organization website, etc. Websites can be the work of an individual, a
business or other organization, and are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose. Any
website can contain a hyperlink to any other website, so the distinction between individual sites, as
perceived by the user, can be blurred.
Some websites require user registration or subscription to access content. Examples of subscription
websites include many business sites, news websites, academic journal websites, gaming websites,
file-sharing websites, message boards, web-based email, social networking websites, websites
providing real-time stock market data, as well as sites providing various other services.
While "web site" was the original spelling (sometimes capitalized "Web site", since "Web" is a proper
noun when referring to the World Wide Web), this variant has become rarely used, and "website"
has become the standard spelling. All major style guides, such as The Chicago Manual of Style[3] and
the AP Stylebook,[4] have reflected this change.

effect the desired appearance and as part of the main content. Audio or video might also be
considered "static" content if it plays automatically or is generally non-interactive. This type of
website usually displays the same information to all visitors. Similar to handing out a printed
brochure to customers or clients, a static website will generally provide consistent, standard
information for an extended period of time. Although the website owner may make updates
periodically, it is a manual process to edit the text, photos, and other content and may require basic
website design skills and software. Simple forms or marketing examples of websites, such as classic
