Website vs. Platform

What exactly is the difference between a website and a platform?

A website is a static or semi-dynamic digital presence mainly for informational purposes, whereas a platform is a dynamic, interactive framework designed for extensive user engagement and content creation, allowing for scalability and customization beyond a traditional website.

Website

A website acts as the foundation of your online presence, handling basic informational and transactional duties. It’s perfect for focusing on straightforward content delivery and e-commerce. It provides a base level of interactivity, offering functionalities such as product listings, paywalls, blogs, and company information. It’s also a great place to put links to social media accounts or embed content such as audio or video.

Limited User Interaction: Limited to customer purchases, basic account management, and commenting on posts or reviewing products.
Basic Customization: While customizable, the scope is generally confined to themes, basic plugins, and extensions for e-commerce or other services.
Content Delivery: Primarily used to display information such as links, media, and news updates.
E-commerce Capabilities: Facilitates standard e-commerce activities like product display, cart management, and transaction processing as well as membership paywalls and subscription payments.

Platform

A platform, in contrast, is a more dynamic and expansive framework. It not only includes a website but also integrates a variety of specialized applications, perfect for wrapping your and your community’s online presence into one place. These can be seamlessly connected through Single Sign-On (SSO) and embedding techniques, enhancing the user experience with features like livestreaming, multimedia hosting, social media interactions, private encrypted chats, as well as voice and video calling functionalities.

High Interactivity: Enables users to engage in real-time communications, participate in communities, and contribute user-generated content.
Advanced Customization: Offers extensive customization options through the integration of diverse applications and services that extend beyond basic website functionalities.
Integrated Services: Includes various applications like livestreaming tools, social media platforms, private encrypted chat apps, and multimedia streaming (video and radio).
Unified Access: Utilizes SSO to provide a cohesive user experience across all integrated services, allowing seamless navigation and interaction across different functionalities.

What our clients say about us

"Prior to working with Prometheus Systems, our website was problematic. Previous web developers either promised results they failed to deliver on or weren’t capable of meeting our ever-evolving website needs. All that changed when we were referred to Prometheus."

"Prometheus was able to handle the heavy lift of designing our new website, moving all our members over from two separate versions of the site and providing us with a reliable video server that helps to protect our company from censorship."

"Working with Prometheus has been extremely pleasant. They are reliable and friendly experts."

Jimmy Dore
Stand-Up Comedian, Host of The Jimmy Dore Show

"We are very pleased with Prometheus's on-site hardware management and web hosting services. We utilize Prometheus to provide physical server hosting, direct hardware maintenance, and network resolution services. I cherish the personalized, hands-on technical support provided with real-time updates and opportunities for technical consultations whenever we run into issues. Prometheus has enabled our organization to grow by handling a lot of our hardware and networking needs so that we can focus on our products and services."

John Bennett
Owner, Interkosmos Link

"My organization has surpassed the 1-year mark of virtual hosting with Prometheus Systems, and we have been entirely satisfied with the performance and reliability of the solution. As we previously felt the pressure of the potential for censorship and denial of service, it only made sense to partner with an entity that embraces a laissez-faire approach to hosting their customers’ content. We have been able to leverage the platform to self-host Free and Open Source applications and avoid costly licensing that would quickly cut through our non-profit’s budget. Prometheus support has been responsive and competent in our rare moments of need."
