Final Charity Website

In order to create my charity website I used a software called, 'Serif WebPlus10'. I was able to insert my own photographs, a video, hyper links, logo, a navigation bar and text. These could either follow web page conventions or break them. I chose to follow the web page conventions to make it clear for my audience to navigate around my website. Below are my final screen grab shots of my charity website. Each page displays the logo, contact helpline and the navigation bar. It also displays the title of the page to make it clear for the audience what page they're on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The home page includes original photographs of animals relating to the charity website. The navigation bar is clear and easy to use. There is a little it about what the website involves such as the, "Looking for a pet?", "Fundraising for the PA&D", "Our animals" and "The PA&D Today".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Us Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The about us page includes a whole, welcoming text about the charity of issue and also a video about what the charity does.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donate Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The donate page includes information about donating for the PA&D and main points on how to do that. I also have included a photograph of one of the animals to make the page more exciting not just boring and plain and full of text.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Animals Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The our animals page displays just some of the animals that are from the charity. I have displayed their names and a photograph of them. This could have more of an effect on the audience actually seeing the poor animals who have been treated so badly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rehome Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The re-home page includes a lot of information about re-homing. There is a hyper link which I have created to able the audience to get more information from just clicking on the highlighted, underlined text. "Click here". This makes it easier to navigate around and enter a new website from just one click and to get more information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
News Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The news page shows latest news and photo's of the PA&D's and stories. More photographs make the page more interesting and will be effective for the target audience.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The contact page gives all the information on how to contact the charity. It is a bold and big piece of text to show its importance.

The colours of my website are suitable for a animal charity website. Most animal welfare charity websites which I researched in use the colour blue for their logo and layout. My layout is clear and displays the logo, title, contact helpline and navigation bar on every page. The colours connect to the colour theory under analog colours. The blue's which are used are either side one a little darker than the other and analog colours are known to be used when nature is involved or harmonious. As it is to do with animal I feel it is appropriate. The connotation of blue gives a calm atmosphere instead of red meaning danger for example.
