It might sound like a good idea to get a homepage, but you're still not exactly sure why you need one!

You've come to the right place! Below I'll discuss with you the reasons and rationale behind getting your own homepage done and hopefully you'll realize that when you finally get one, it was one of the best decisions you could've made!


Why would I want my own homepage/website?



PERSONAL WEBSITES:

A personal website is a non-commercial, non-business website that a person makes about themselves or something they really like. Personal websites are a lot of fun and can also be very useful. You can make personal websites for many reasons:

  • To tell about yourself, your likes & dislikes
  • To show off a collection of something valuable to you, or crafts that you make, etc
  • As a permanent job resume online
  • To have a dedication site to a favorite actor, actress, singer, band, or movie
  • To tell about a non-profit organization you belong to or support

The list is endless, but hopefully this will help you understand the power of a personal homepage and just what you can do with it.


COMMERCIAL WEBSITES:

Commercial websites are those set up to promote businesses and/or sell a product. These days everyone is online and the best advertising out there is the Information Superhighway! You can use your commercial website to do many things:

  • Tell about your business
  • Tell about the services that you offer
  • Tell about the products you sell
Having a website on the Internet is one of the best ways to advertise and promote your business.
Generally, the fees for having a business website are a little higher than that for a personal website. This is because business websites take a lot more time and hard work. Yet, the wonderful thing about having a website, no matter if you had to pay a hefty penny for it:
Every customer you gain from that site you're getting your money back.
