Choose a description from the list that best describes the layout of your website?

	Standard Web Sites
		Basic website with 3 pages
		Small website with 5 pages (some subsections to navigation)
		Information website with many pages (several subsections to navigation)
	Dynamic Web Sites
		Small Content Management System (CMS) website with the ability to edit one section of the site yourself. Dynamic websites allow you to add your own content through a password protected administration section of your site at anytime on any computer. An unlimited amount of pages can be added.
		Standard Content Management System (CMS) website with the ability to edit several sections of the site yourself. This type of site can be used as an online catalogue which displays a range of products or services. Products can be added at any time and show on the website immediately. It is most economical for sections of your site that do not change often to be left as static pages.
		Full Content Management System (CMS) website with the ability to edit all sections of the site yourself.
	Other Web Sites
		Full E-commerce website (capable of real time processing of credit cards) NB. Shopping cart solutions can be added to any of the previous website layouts.
