What we have to say about some common terminologies

The liberating act of creating websites using "website for websites" is an experience. And as you have enjoyed it and as you have been given the sense of freedom and accomplishment, you should tell your friends, because, "Now, everyone can website"!

There are many other descriptive terms that we would like to comment on, and to give you an indicative comparison - if ever there can be: 

Webbuilder or web-builder, sitebuilder:

The very idea of having to "build" sounds too technical for many. Seems to imply the need for skills and techniques, and if not experienced may lead to an unpredictable outcome (cob-webs, discarded homepage, under-construction everywhere). To "build" might end up as being more involved and time consuming than first thought of.  Why can't the underlying technical processes be transparent, and you focus solely on the content of the pages for your website? As simple as gmail, eh ... email?  .. or as a blog? We suggest you try  website-for-websites right here.

A place for homepages or a homestead:

A homepage was the early name we gave to websites in the early years - as if to describe a page to come home to. The landing page. The start page. The main page. In the early days, software tools that you install on your PC are needed to create homepages. These tools were complex and difficult to use, in fact, it requires the skill of a craftsman - the elite person whom we now call "webmaster". We think it is time for the rest of us to be liberated.  Websites - why can't everyone do it? Check it out at  website-for-websites.

 Website templates:

An era (that still very much exist today) where boiler plates and templates are the order of the day, stamping out standard, similar looking website as the only way to get the job done, hopefully easily though not likely to be quick, consistent and maintainable. Not so any more at  website-for-websites. You pro-create. (a pun with the word "pro" implying the empowerment to be a professional where the outcome, output and end result is consistently good, consistently professional. A website that is always functioning and up-to-date.  A website known for its timeliness. Afterall, you are judged by the speed you get the job done. Test drive one yourself.

Free Hosting:

You get some computer server space and probably a set of tools in the hope that you can by yourself design and upload your website. If you fail, you pay more for the service of someone to help you out.  Also, one has to check that whilst the hosting is free, other necessary software and services might be chargeable. To give an analogy, if you are thirsty you want a cup of tea and not look for free filtration of your water supply. Get the tea served! Get the wesbite served!  There must be the completion of all the necesary value-add that good technology can put together in the economic value-chain. And then to deliver a service product so sophisticated and smooth to use, it seems (a.k.a. seamlessly) so obvious! And you can only exclaim "wow!"  Experience it yourself here!

Free Website:

Caution. One has to find out, even through extreme effort, the "strings attached" - is it full of advertisements? Your namesake also suffers as it rarely comes with premium domain names like http://www.<your company name>.BHD.bz 

Make a website:

Again, the act of "making" conveys an involved process, a steep learning curve and an outcome that cannot be pre-determined at the starting point - when can we finish making? If, all you want is just "having" a website, then just have one here! (our analogy is like you having a gmail or email account - you just simply own one (and not worry about how to make an email server work). You want to use the website, not spend all creative energy in the making. Website-for-websites deliver the end result. Believe? 

A Business Website , My Business Website:

You need an internet presence (a website for your company such as http://www.<your company name>.BHD.bz ) for the sole purpose of contributing to your core business - all the processes and elements of how to get such a website setup and on-going, how fast you can turn-around a professionally good-looking, fully-working website, the dependence on manpower resource, etc. should be kept to a minimum. All intermediate steps should be eliminated, where possible. The good news is that   "website-for-websites" have done it.

Website wizards?

Can imply fantasy and potential simplisticity. Might not be technologically sound, a quick fix perhaps. Constrast that against "website-for-websites" where it literally spawns or pro-creates another website with all the in-built capability instantly available and at hand.  You will need a good stop-watch timepiece to check out how speedily and effortlessly your next website can be created - right here. No longer a fantasy, no longer a wish or a dream - your website is reality, literally in an instance!

 Portal, Web Portals, Global and Regional Portals, Corporate Portals, Hosted Web Portals

A portal is (typically a large) site on the World Wide Web that provides an array of capabilities to its visitors, and providing a pathway to other content. For an example of a large world-wide portal, visit http://www.globalknowledge.org , or a more specific purpose portal at http://www.globalknowledge.org/wsis2005 . A vertical portal (also known as a Vortal) serves a vertical specialised industry or purpose. The underlying software engine and technology that is used for this website, and the website you are going to have for yourself by clicking here, is made with Cornerstone's robust and proven portal engine. 

Content Management System (CMS) or Content Management Software

To site directly from Wikepedia: "A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system used to assist its users in the process of content management. CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources. A CMS often facilitates the collaborative creation of documents. A web content management system is a content management system with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites." The makers of "website-for-websites" uses Cornerstone's CMS so that you can be empowered to take charge of your website, your web-content and to properly manage your organisation information on the web (be it at the public website, extranet or at a restricted intranet).  Various specialised knowledge-object modules can be added to Cornerstone's CMS to expand its usefulness, for example, an online Nomination/Ballot Casting and Election system, scholarship and conference registration system, global judging of contest/competition submission, large database search and display systems,  shared workspaces for collaborative multistakeholder projects, and the list goes on.

Your website that you now begin here, can grow using any one of the above as its basis is the same computer software system, from the same company.
