presentation of mission and goals

  Work on your site definition and description as described. Study the assigned readings for the class.

   For February 2, prepare to make a five-minute information-packed presentation to the class about the mission of your site and its short- and long-term goals.

   In your statement/presentation, demonstrate that you understand the big picture: your individual vision for the site, the materials/examples you've got to work with,  and any possible restrictions. Be sure you cover answers to such questions as:

  • What are the short- and long-term goals?
  • Who are the intended audiences?
  • Why will people come to your site?
  • What types of tasks should users be able to perform?
  • What types of content should and should not be part of the site?
  • What are some of the subtopics or keywords or <meta> tags that seem most descriptive/useful to your plans at the moment?
