The audience for my website are the children which are already at this school but mainly for the young children looking for a new school to go to. The website is targeted to interest them in the school and what them to go to the school.

Preliminary Task Story Boarding

What is a convention? Is a set of guidelines and informal rules. Conventions are needed because it gives you something to follow and it helps to make it is easier to use. The way that people do things, coming together forms conventions such as television programmes when set in series where they are lots of episodes.

Why are they useful? People expect to see them, things such as navigation bar where its easy to use and get to different pages, people know how to use these so its easier for them.

Do we have to use them all the time? We dont always have to use them but it is easier if we do with things such as a website with things like the navigation bar.
