Online portfolio activity pt.1

These online websites are all informative. They all contain information that someone will want to read about. They are different genres of information, however someone will be interested in the sites.

The debate page that I looked at has a mission statement that is very clear and not hard to find on the first page of the website. The dolphin website does not have a mission statement. The victorias secret is a company has a privacy/security statement. This you have to look for under the tab called privacy/security. They also have a contact number and help page.

All these pages are different. The dolphin website will draw a younger crowd because they can relate to them better. It is very bright and colorful with lots of pictures. The text is not complicated either, it is very simple and easy to understand. Therefore it is a good website for the younger generations, because they can grasp it better. The government debate website is for the older generation that is into politics, or would like to learn more about politics. The writing is very intellectual which might create difficulty with understanding it for younger kids. You also might need to have a little background about what the basic of politics like what it is. The victorias secret website is directed towards women. It uses good marketing techniques because they advertise the sale and new things on the first web page. They advertise things such as if you spend more than $100 you will get free shipping. That causes interest for people to continue to shop.

The audience for the dolphin website is definitely for the younger generation, who wants to learn more about dolphins and has an interest in dolphins. With the websites aim to focus on younger generations, it just changes the layout of the website and the choice of wording for the website. They need it to be easier to understand. The debate website is aimed for adults who want to know or learn about politics, and keep up to date about what is happening with the politics. The victorias secret website is aimed at women who have a credit card basically.

The dolphin and victorias secret website are similar in which they are both colorful and draw attention to the eye. The debate website is very simple and somewhat boring.

I think that there is a wide variety of genre's for web portfolios. They depend on what point the author that is making them wants to get across and to whom they want to get across too.
