Applying Writing Guidelines to Web Pages
Rhetorical Analysis of Goodwill Page
The look and feel of this site is intended to be simple, colorful, and easily navigable. The only was to move about the site is through the buttons on the bar at the top of the page just below the title graphic. This is intended to keep navigation simple as most of the people navigating this site will be college age students looking to either learn about the group or people who are already C.A.R.E. members looking at upcoming events for their own organization.
Features of the redesigned C.A.R.E. site:
- Pictures and/or graphics on every page.
- Much less text. More colorful and engaging font when text is used.
- Graphics never use more than multiple sentences. Attention spans must be considered as most of them are short.
As shown, the color scheme will be an alternation of different shades of blue. This is a very friendly color whose multiple shades contrast with one another while complimenting each other at the same time. The center alignment of the page will create an equal amount of blue space on each side of the page. The use of colors, though, should draw the users’ eyes to the middle of the screen and make them focus on the pertinent information that C.A.R.E. wants to relay.
The actual page itself is very full of information. By keeping the pages full of information and varying colors and fonts that aren’t too distracting, I feel as though the optimal balance of education and readability will be achieved.
