Many web authoring tools exist presently for creating web sites.
Information placed on an organization's web site advertise and inform others about the organization. Through these tools, the Web functions primarily as a large information repository.

A commercial organization would want to integrate web authoring and web site maintenance with the organization's product database so that any changes on product information are systematically reflected on the organization's web site. Second, we see the massive, widespread introduction of software agents as the next wave of development on the Web.
