What is the purpose of a website ?

                                            Websites in general

Different kinds of websites have different purposes depending on who the intended audience is. 
Some websites are geared towards selling products and other are just purely for entertainment. There are variety of websites, the most common websites are selling websites for clothing or supermarkets. However, music/artist webpages are also quite common to have.

Examples of selling websites may be -

Office
