INTRODUCTION

 

This site is about my robotics team and what we do. The title is going to be "The Winds of Thor". I chose this site because our team needs a website.

 

SITE GOALS

 

Our site's purpose is to inform people about robotics, FIRST, and our team. We could evaluate our goals' expectations by setting a view counter on the website to see how many views we get over a certain period of time and by how many emails we might recieve from people with questions and/or comments.

 

AUDIENCE

 

This site is intended primarily for teenagers in high school, people interested in robotics, and other robotics teams. These people would be comfortable using computers and the Internet. A secondary audience would be judges from competitions, family, or friends who might be interested in our history and background.

 

AUDIENCE PROFILE

 

Rachel is a 15 year old girl, a sophomore in high school. She has a 19 inch laptop, and is very comfortable using the computer and the Internet. She prefers well-organized websites where everything is neatly catagorized, as well as ones that are graphically interesting with only small chunks of information.

 

CLIENT

 

The client would be the coach of my robotics team, Ming.

INTERFACE

 

This site is going to have high contrast and be very graphically pleasing to the eye. The graphics have already been designed for the site, so it will be used as a basis for the website.
