WHAT do I want the
Sun Foundation site to accomplish?
|
Communicate the identity, credibility,
and purpose of the
Sun Foundation. |
|
Successfully recruit students and volunteers
to
participate in Sun Foundation programs.
|
| Achieved by a clear explanation of the above elements
to users.
|
| Plan ways to make the site useful, relevant, interesting
and engaging to users.
|
Create
a site that is accessible to people with disabilities by referring to the
W3C Web Accessibility Initiative.
|
WHO are my users, and what do they want and need?
| Users come from a rural area and use small monitors, slow
modems, and usually have older I. E. or Netscape. They include people of all ages.
|
| Need a site that loads
quickly with limits on file size and color settings. Specifically,
create images to load progressively. Code to include height and width
specifications, and alt tags. Exclude frames so users can bookmark easily. |
| Want important information to be the easiest to find. And to easily perform tasks: volunteering,
registering
for classes and researching topics of interest.
|
|
HOW can I take advantage of the web medium?
| Select a tone that is at times serious and at times fun.
|
| Select a visual presentation that addresses the artistic and earthy
quality
of the foundation.
|
| Provide search features and links to similar sites.
|
| Provide ways to actively engage users.
|
| Create quality, thought provoking content without bias.
Increase
accessibility by using alternative text for images and summaries for
tables.
