My Website Report

http://athene.csu.edu.au/~sdaley04/sarah's%20world.html


Intended Audience

My web site is all about me and the important things in my life. It also has recent events on it (such as my 21st birthday).

The intendend audience for my Website are my friends and family. My brother is going overseas in a few weeks for a couple of years, so by me having this website, I can continue to update it so that he can always see what is going on here in Australia, with his family and his little sister.

I have many friends all over the world and all across Australia, so my web page is an easy and efficient way for them to keep up-to-date with what is going on in my world. In the future, it will be updated to display all different types of this that I do, and maybe a message board.


Goals of My Site

The goal of my web site is to enable all of my friends and family in touch with me. Also as earlier mentioned, to let them know about what is going on in my world, and so that they can understand and appreciate what is important in my life. Already after distributing my web site address to friends and family, they have visited the site and sent me emails regarding what they thought of it. I am satisfied that I have achieved my goal, and look forward to hearing more positive things about my web site.

Content, Layout and Function of Each Page

Sarah's World

Content

The content of Sarah's World is information about myself. It also has a picture of my so that everyone can visualise who I am. This is the page that everyone will see when they go to my website, and decide if they want to keep veiwing the other pages. I also included a link to the meaning of Sarah, the commonwealth bank (because my web site is my home page on my browser, and I use net banking frequently) and a link to email me. A drop down menu is also featured to allow viewers to look at my entire site - and it links all of my pages together.

Funtion

The function of this page is to inform the viewer of who I am and little things about myself. It is the home page, and it connects all the other pages.


My Home
