Informational websites are great for sharing and/or selling information.

Usually how this works is you add interesting and helpful articles on the product you’d like to sell. For instance, if you’re selling baby products, you might add information ranging from pregnancy through to the process of labour and taking care of one’s little bundle of joy once it arrives. You can use this information as marketing tool for your products to lead people to your store, or to the e-commerce section of your website where people can order online. You can also add a discussion forum where you can help people with daily issues they encounter with their babies, and you can even set up a section for photo sharing, where customers can submit their babies wearing or using some of your baby products.

The owner of the website can decide whether or not to allow members to contribute and/or edit articles, or whether only a dedicated copywrite is going to expand the information presented on the website. Articles can also include illustrated tutorials with media (audio & video clips) if necessary.

Informational websites are great for any small business starting up, health professionals, educational or homeschool websites, government agencies, etc. And even non-profit organizations can benefit from this type of website. Informational Websites are not necessarily for commercial purposes, it can also purely be informational, for example www.wikipedia.org is an online encyclopedia, and www.about.com provides articles on a wealth of topics, www.spanishdict.com is an online dictionary.

Usually contributors are approved members of the website, who write new or edit existing articles, causing rapid growth of the website.

Throughout, the website provides links and pictures to your product(s) and/or services and/or project(s) and/or a way to contribute financially.

An informational website can include

• a biography page to introduce the contributor(s)
• contact information
• search facility

Additions you can choose from:

• subscription form, so that customers can be informed of updates or new content on your website
• registration for members to your website (so that they can contribute to the information displayed on your website)
• comments, so that readers can post their thoughts on your articles
