CD or Website - which one is best for my organisation?

We have no bias whatsoever as we produce both. The main factors are as follows:

If the information you want to convey contains fast moving data such as stock levels or products with a very short life then it makes sense to go for a website. That way rapidly changing data can be updated at one point, almost instantly. In this situation CD's are at a distinct disadvantage as they would either need to be recalled or replaced - and for large batches that can be very expensive!

A major advantage of CD's however is that they can now be viewed on a huge number of PC's, whereas only a proportion of business PC's are online at any one time. Additionally a CD does not suffer the bandwidth limitations of a website and can have a much richer content such as video, sound and animation. Increasingly these are available on the web but to a much lesser degree.

To sum up, CD's are great for use in a presentation situation, or for use as an alternative to a paper-based brochure whereas a website is open 24 hours a day and can be updated rapidly.

It's you choice - many of our clients have both, who are we to argue!
