Overview
The Web is one application of the internet, which
in turn is the largest collection of different networks in the world.
Real potential exists for the effective delivery
of content and for the future of e-commerce.
Yet limitations do exist and due to the speed
of change there are real problems with this global information network.
With no compulsion to follow standards, there is a multitude of
incompatible and inept tools for Web authors.
There is a multitude of incompatible and inept
browsers, which vary greatly due to a number of issues. Network
variants have to be considered for the delivery of graphics and
animation.
Plug-ins and Helpers offer none of the restrictions
of paper and rather than just being something else to download and
install can instill customer loyalty.
The viewer's machine must be considered so as
not to alienate or prohibit access from any potential audience.
Free internet access has left a growing audience of sophisticated
users, with their own browsing habits.
A useable web site is a more popular site and
human-computer interaction studies show what makes an easy to use
web site.
Problems
There is a plethora of UK Internet Service Providers
(ISPs), making it hard to know how to choose.
There are more and more users on the Internet
daily, using more and more powerful PCs with faster and faster network
connections, multimedia, accessing more and more complex web sites
filled with flashy but meaningless movies clogging up their networks
and wasting everybody's time with pretty designs but hard-to-find
content.
How do you design an effective web site?
How can you keep it up-to-date with all the latest
information for your customers?
How can you keep your network running smoothly?
How can you keep it secured against the latest
viruses and hacker exploits?
