The Web offers the benefits of printed materials, but with no cost of delivery. Users can ask questions and communicate over the Web. Web pages - usually short documents of written and graphical material are collected together at a Web Site. The viewer can access pages from selection menus, or by automatic searches. The pages are linked, so related topics can be seen together.
Users can print the information from their own computer.
And this is just a partial list. Every business has its own needs and agenda. The Web is flexible enough to support any requirement. There are 30 million organisations and individuals on the Web - with numbers growing in 1,000 s daily. Although a computer is needed to access the Web many people already have such access.
