Let us now discuss the need to build a Web site and the fundamental goals of a Web site. The goal of a
Web site is to provide up-to-date and accurate information to the users, partners, and employees of an
organization. Effectively managed Web sites behave as an excellent platform to provide information to
a wide range of audience. They also have the ability to rapidly update and modify information as
needed. A Web site of any company or business helps the company or business to get promoted
frequently and get new opportunities. The company or business can keep on updating its Website as
and when there are any changes in its offerings, prices, business strategies etc., so as to keep its
stakeholders informed.
