Different Types of Websites and Their Functions

Choose the website model that matches your audience, content and business process.

Choose the website model that matches your audience, content and business process.

Marketing and corporate websites

Start with the people and process around the technology. Define the friction, the decision that needs to become easier and the result the business expects. This keeps the solution focused on value instead of features alone.

Commerce and service platforms

Use a practical, testable plan. The following principles provide a strong starting point:

  • Choose the type based on the user action you need.
  • Avoid adding features without an operating owner.
  • Plan content governance before launch.
  • Leave room for measurement and iteration.

Portals, communities and knowledge sites

Launch is the beginning of the feedback loop. Assign ownership, monitor the important events and review whether the experience is producing the intended result. Improve in focused releases and keep operational documentation current.

Good digital products make the next step clearer for customers and easier to operate for the team.
