LO2: Planning a multi-page website
Local bands – you can create a website for a local band (you to source the band). - Post Collide
Purpose:
The purpose of a band website for "Post Collide" is for a type of advertisement and promotion. This website would be used to promote their music and up coming events for gigs. On band websites you can usually purchase things online such as music or merchandise, so this be something i will include in "Post Collides" website. I will also have a gallery of photos and videos taken from events. Contact information will also be provided on the website. I have looked at Beyonces website that is a similar website to what i would be creating. This website has all the things I have listed.
Audience:
The audience for "Post Collides" website website would be people who like music or who has an interest in the band itself. The target gender for someone who is likely to visit the website are both male and female this is because the music is aimed at both genders, especially because it has a male and a female singer. Their target age for for this website would be 16 to 35 as the music is aimed towards that age group.
Audience Profile:
Matt Cross is 20 years he live in Sheffield. Matts favourite thing to do is to kick back and listen to his favourite music which is R&B and Rap music. His all time favourite singers are Drake, Jay Z, Rhianna and Beyoncé. Matt has a few hobbies which are hanging around with his friends, going to music festivals/concerts and he also plays the drums in his own band which he has a huge passion for.

LO1: Analysis of Facebook
A) Purpose
Facebook is a form of social media and is one of the most popular social networking services in the world. Facebook is mainly used for socialising. The demographics of Facebook is below, this helps me know the target audience. I know hat the target audience for this website is 13+ this is because the person has to be 13 or over to start an account. This is because if the child is under this age they may post information about themselves and not know the harm in doing so. The image below shows the ages that use Facebook the most, 87% of people are ages 18 to 29, this is because this is the age where people meet up with their friends and keep up with their friends by using social media. However as you can see aged 65+ only is 56%, this is because the older generation is not used to technology and since Facebook can only be accessed through technology they are less likely to use it.
B) Visitor Needs
The visitor needs of Facebook is to socialise, this is met as Facebook allows users to socialise through messenger, calls, events and even through their own timeline. The timeline can be used to write or read posts about anything such as music, videos, news and general stuff. To do all this the visitor must be signed up to this website. However some pages my be viewed without an account, these are usually popular unprivate accounts that you can follow. When the visitors first arrive on the Facebook website they are instantly directed to the homepage which is either of the log in screen or the timeline of the user who is already logged in.
C) Information flow (User Experience)
The Facebook website is a bit more complicated than the other websites that i have looked at, this is because Facebook is a daily website that people use, this means that they soon get hold of where things can be found on the website. Even though this website is more complex there is still a navigation bar to get around the website easily. The navigation bar is used to search for people, pages, groups and events. navigation bar can be found in the header of the website page which is the colour green which is to match the logo theme, in this navigation bar it says "I'm Looking for..." which is also a way of informing the users what the bar is meant to be used for. Next to that such bar is a scroll down menu of different categories the visitors can choose from, this is there so that when the users are looking for an item they a narrow the results down. The users can also choose what location they would like to search in to make their browsing easier to do. Next to the location search there is another scroll down menu this is for the users to choose how many miles they would like the item to be from where their location is.
D) Features - 100 words
The navigation bar can be found in the left of the header on the website page, in the navigation bar it says "Search for People, Places and things". The colour of the header is blue this is because it is the theme of Facebook.
E) Benefits
Facebook is another site that can only be found online. This
website is used for the public to socialise or business to promote there
company. The producer started this website as again it reaches a wide audience
as
F) Content
This is a screenshot of Facebook in 2005. The website is very basic however this means that it is easier for people to log in or create an account.
This is a screen shot of Facebook in 2015. The website layout hasn't changed a lot since 2005, however you can sign up without having to click any hyper links to take you to another webpage.

LO1: Analysis of UTC Sheffield
 |
| http://www.utcsheffield.org.uk/ |
The purpose of the UTC Sheffield website is to advertise and promote. This website is to keep students and parents or carers up to date with any upcoming events in the college. On this website you can also apply for the college, this function is for people who are looking to join the college. The target audience for this website are students, parents or carers or people who are looking to join the college. This means that it is aimed at both genders ages from 14+ as the college is for 14 to 19 years old. The social grade of this website is Middle class ABC1, I think this because the website is for teens going into free higher education. This website is also online which means that the audience needs some sort of computing device to view this website. However this website is free to visit so that means that anyone can access this website.
B) Visitor Needs
The visitor needs of UTC Sheffield are to be able to apply to the college and also find out more information about upcoming events and news, these needs are met by having a radio button which is in the top right corner that says "Apply now." This is a quick and easy way for the visitors to go through the applying process.
C) Information flow (User Experience)
The UTC Sheffield website is quite basic, this is so the visitors will find it easy to look access things on the site. When the visitors first arrive on the UTC Sheffield Website they are instantly directed to the homepage which has links to information, news, videos and contact information, there is no search bar as all the important parts of the website are on the front cover. The website uses the same few colours to keep this website as basic as possible so it doesn't confuse visitors, this is also so the website looks neat and organised.
E)Benefits
UTC Sheffield is another site that can only be found online. This
website is used to give information about the college to parent or carers to let
them know about the college or future events. The producer started this website
to promote the college as to be able to run the college there needs to be pupils
