The scope of the world wide web

Think of the web as a huge encylopaedia with an electronically searchable index. But beware, just because it's on the web, it doesn't mean that it's true! So do not rely on information unless it is from a repputable source. The world wide web is a dynamic medium, changing rapidly, and the best sites are regularly updated.

This is Information Technology: bear in mind that information is the only thing that it can provide. However, the web can display information in a variety of ways: as text, images, video or sound.

Let's have a look at what a practice website could provide. Click on the links below to explore the Well Close Square website (and a few others) to see what is available today.
