What is a website, at the bottomline?

Digital text, gafics, forms, functions and maybe some audio- or video-items build a website. Depending on the combination the user interacts with it using a webbrowser.

The value to create a website depends on your goal, having all that technics of the 21st century available. So, my first question to you, my possible customer simply is: What do you want to get back from that website?

First selection:
a) business
b) non-business

Knowing that we'll get to the bottomline after your request customized.
