Research for website ideas

I decided that the best way to chose a website idea was to look at others to see which I liked the most.

The options:

  • Charity - A charity form would mean that I could advertise fundraising days and events for either a specific charity or show the different events going on for lots of charities in the local area. An example of a charity website is Oxfam. They let visitors of the website know what they are doing, have a page on how to get involved with the charity, how to donate, they also have widgets to their twitter, Facebook, Instagram and youtube pages. 
  • Creative industries - For example a website for a museum, radio station or gallery. I looked at the Natural History Museum to see get ideas of what I could include in my creative industries website. They have pages on how to get to the museum, what's at the museum, gallery of pictures of the museum, facilities and like Oxfam they also have widgets to their twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages. 
  • Research Oriented -  For a research oriented website I could choose my own subject and include any essays that I have done at uni, or any projects. For example as I do sociology as well as media and cultural studies I could do a website on one of my other modules that I find interesting. If i went with this idea I would do a website based on Youth and Subculture, explaining and showing different subcultures that are around today and once that have come and gone.  
  • Creative - With a creative website I could again include my own subject, for example; I could do a website that is based on what is going on around kingston, including inside and outside the uni. An example of this could be the Kingston Tab page which is for students to visit.
