The Internet is a worldwide collection of computers storing information, all connected by telecommunications links, most commonly through phone lines. It is made accessible for the masses by Internet Service Providers like AOL, Mindspring, Peachnet, and Prodigy. Think of the 'Net as a bunch of towns in different counties -- and Internet Service Providers pave the roads that allow you to drive easily from town to town.
The World Wide Web is a subset of the Internet that allows you to access text, graphics, and multimedia data in a useful and appealing way. (E-mail is another type of "subset".) In order for your organization to have a presence on the Web, your documents must reside on a computer hooked into the Internet and must be coded to be read by Web browser software. (Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer are web browsers.) Stairwell Studios can lease that space to you and create the documents that will reside there.
