1st page. Website. Final.

-> The website page is colourful and with lots of photos - it makes it eye catching.
-> The top of the website is taken from the actual newspaper, it's in black and white so stands out very well, audience always sees the name of the newspaper/website - also even though the newspaper is in black and white the website still suits the newspaper because it doesn't have too many colours. I've tried to make it look not too formal but also not too 'funky'
-> I left the background white because I wanted it to reflect the newspaper, which is local but also about business and economics, the website looks serious
-> The red line at the top is like a short cut - readers are able to see the main features and information that it in the website
-> Black line shows most recent and important news, it stand out very well which emphasizes the importance of the information
-> The website is divided into couple different sections, world news, local news, opinions and also advertisements. When doing my research I saw that all website promote something. My adverts are charity, helpline, bank and also air company. All of these help people somehow and it's useful. I've used air company because people like business men usually fly to different places so I decided that it would be a good addition to the website. All of the adverts are very simple, and in websites you are able to click on it and it takes you to the actual websites for it. The adverts must be simple in the website because if it;s very complex than it would be too much, because websites are colourful itself
-> This post contains photos that I took myself, because the other were taken from the internet. I've tried to use photos of people as much as I could because I realized that in websites photos are usually like that.
-> Local news section is big because the website is of a local newspaper. This will suit my audience because people reading this paper usually will be living in Basildon and Area, it will be important for them to know what's happening in their area. I've used photo of Basildon so that the readers would recognize the place straight away.
->In world news section I've placed a photo of a sea in winter, I took it when I was on holiday in Lithuania, I've used it to show that this section is about other places, and not England.
-> I decided to add section with opinions, because I think it's very important to make the reader feel that their opinions matter and that it's important for them to take part in what's happening in their community. Audience must see the newspaper and website helpful and interesting part of Basildon and Area.
-> I've used red colour to separate sections in order to make it clear when the one ends and another starts. I think it's very eye catching colour and is a good addition to the website.
