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?
