Finally, today we’re going to cover our third and final type of site in the Different Types of Website Series. The first type was a mini site. The second was a blog.

What are content sites?

Put simply, a content site is a site filled with … you got it … content. Normally, this content would be in the form of informational articles. But content these days, spans across other forms of media as well. There are content sites filled with entertaining videos (think YouTube), audio interviews, how-to screencasts, image collection (as in Flickr).

Pretty much anything.

Although you can create one website about anything and everything, it’s better practice to specialize in a certain niche. So, you could build a site about beds and have articles about beds, videos on how to choose the right bed, images of different types of beds … If you absolutely need to write about chairs as well, you could easily just start a separate site about chairs.
