When you surf the net you look at websites and web pages through a special window known as a browser, usually Internet Explorer (IE). Through a browser websites (usually) look pretty, with pictures graphics and animations alongside neatly arranged text on nicely laid out pages. But behind all of this lurks Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), which is the raw code that makes up the website. Browsers are programs that translate the HTML into finished pages.

You can take a look at what the HTML code of any website really looks like by going to the View menu of your browser and choosing Source. Each line of text is a label that refers to how a certain part of the web page should look, it's like a list of instructions or a blueprint of its layout.

Yes, all businesses should have a website as the internet can be viewed by absolutely anyone and there are no 'rules' as such, so just about anybody can have their own website. The popularity of the web has grown so much in the past few years, and it's no longer just academics and techno-geeks that use it. In fact the web has become a crucial part of everyday life - so much so that if a movie, product, shop or company doesn't have an internet presence then it probably isn't worth bothering with.

If you're serious about something then you'll want to give it a voice on the internet. For businesses big or small, a website can be vital in generating publicity and awareness. It's like having a big billboard advert permanently on display for the entire world to see.
