Types of websites you can create
Regarding the content and application, there are many types of websites. Below read about a few most popular websites:
1. Personal website
It is a group of Web pages that someone creates about himself. It basically contains things that are personal.
It doesn’t have to be about you, and it doesn’t have to contain personal information but it does need to be personal.
A personal website must exhibit content that tells your readers about your thoughts, ideas, interests, hobbies, family, friends, feelings, or something you feel strongly about. Online diaries, self-written books, poems, family, pets, or a page about your favorite topics such as a TV show, a sport, or a hobby are examples of things that could go on your personal website. Or, it could be a page written to help others with topics like health, or about anything else.
A personal website is a place where you can relieve your soul. Create web pages about anything you like and get it all out there for everyone to see. If you’re a private person, you can still create a personal website. Just make sure not to post your name or any other personal information that may let people know who you are.
2. Portfolio Website
Portfolio websites are sites devoted to showing examples of past work. Service providers who want to show potential clients the quality of the work they provide can use a portfolio website to collect some of the best samples of past work they’ve done.
3. Business Website
A business website is any website that’s devoted to representing a specific business. It should be branded like the business (the same logo and positioning) and communicate the types of products and/or services the business offers.
By now, every business out there should have a website. It’s a widespread expectation.
E-commerce websites are business websites, but it’s also possible to have business websites that don’t sell anything directly, but rather encourage visitors to get in contact for more information (a lead generation website) or come to a storefront if they’re interested in becoming customers.
4. Electronic commerce or E-commerce.
An eCommerce website is a website that people can directly buy products from. You’ve probably used a number of eCommerce websites before, most big brands and plenty of smaller ones have one. Any website that includes a shopping cart and a way for you to provide credit card information to make a purchase falls into this category.
E-commerce allows consumers to electronically exchange goods and services with no barriers of time or distance. Electronic commerce has expanded rapidly over time and is predicted to continue at this rate, or even accelerate.
To start an Online Store it is best to find a niche product that consumers have difficulty finding in malls or department stores.

5. Educational Website
The websites of educational institutions and those offering online courses fall into the category of educational websites. These websites have the primary goal of either providing educational materials to visitors or providing information on an educational institution to them.
6. Nonprofit Website
In the same way that businesses need websites to be their online presence, nonprofits do as well. A nonprofit website is the easiest way for many potential donors to make donations and will be the first place many people look to learn more about a nonprofit and determine if they want to support it.
7. Brochure Website
Brochure websites are a simplified form of business websites. For businesses that know they need an online presence, but don’t want to invest a lot into it (maybe you’re confident you’ll continue to get most of your business from other sources), a simple brochure site that includes just a few pages that lay out the basics of what you do and provide contact information may be enough for you.
If you have a business and know you don’t need your website to be a marketing tool that brings in new business, you just need something more like an online business card, then a brochure website may do the trick.
