Today, 5.35 billion people worldwide use the internet to search for information.
A website is the only communication tool that is available every day, 24/7, worldwide, with no content limit.

Your web pages and domain name can also help you showcase your offerings, sell products, promote events, share information, or gain new clients.
Finally, you may want to base your communication strategy on SEO, and therefore require a website that is user-friendly and content-rich.
A website can serve many goals. What matters most is choosing the type of website that best suits your situation.
A website is a valid business card and one of the most critical elements of your communication strategy. Creating your website using a CMS (like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Prestashop) or not, choosing a domain name, managing hosting, being mindful of responsive design… When building a website, it’s crucial to make the right choices and to select the right web team to guide you through the different types of existing sites.
The different website types
Why create a website?

Blog
A blog is a particular type of website.
