Blog 3/Website

As I began to the process of creating the website to recruit students to my major of Speical Education I had no idea of what I was doing. I've never even attempted this feat before, but once I went onto the site and got started with it I really enjoyed it.
The overall process of what I was writing of course was trying to entice students to the field of Special Education. I wanted the outcome of my words to be used as a tool to convince furture students at USM that SPED is the major for them. The outcome that my reader desires is for me to convince them that SPED is indeed the major for them.
My primary reader for this website is future students to USM who have not decided on a major. I want my website to be so bold and eyecatching that it will help these students to realize that SPED is exactly what they are looking for in their lives. Others who are education majors may also visit my site and decide they may want to become a dual major in SPED because my website was just that awesome and caught their eye and their attention. Some readers to the website may be very knowledgeable in the area of SPED and some may have no clue about th subject at all. This is why in making the website I need to make sure that I have as much information about the subject possible. I need to make sure that I lay out all the facts that I know about the major and make it interesting and make students truly want to take note in the field. Also, while making the website I should take age into consideration. In today's society students are not just teens fresh out of high school; they are adults from all age groups. I need to make sure that my website is appealing to those groups, from the teen fresh out of high school, to the grandma who has decided to seek that degree she never had time to obtain before.
All in all while creating any website it needs to be centered around the audience you are trying to reach, just like any other communication that is being presented.
