It’s important to make sure the website is readable and easy to navigate, for example if you build a website with its main purpose is to sell products then you will be losing business. Your visitors should easily be able to contact you without confusion, and they should know exactly where to go for your contact information. In the Internet world usability is a necessary for success to occur, because if it’s difficult to use then your visitors will leave. The first law of e-commerce is that if users cannot find the product, they cannot buy it either.

6:Firewalls and proxy servers play a role of limiting access to network connections that could compromise the security of the network.  Firewalls can be a physical piece of hardware that is directly tied in to the network or it can be software running on a computer, like in Windows.  The firewall is setup with rules based on what the network administrator has for needs.  When traffic is coming in to the network the firewall will check that data and compare it to the setup rules.  Depending on how that data compares it can either be rejecting or accepted.  There are inbound and outbound rules so that even if data is infected on the network already it will not be able to get out and affect other computers.  A proxy server is an extra layer of threat detection.  It would be in between the network machines and firewall, so that if something was to slip through the firewall then the proxy server would reject it.
