Project 3 (Site Analysis)

So far in this project, we've had to pick a site that was in serious need of rhetorical and format reworking (which we did--Scandinavian Sun), and create a new site that essentially serves the same purpose, but is more effective in both rhetorical and formatting aspects. We also created site maps to better understand the connections of a website's pages to each other and to the main site itself. Before starting on the project itself, we also had to do a site analysis to pick out what the chosen site did well and needed to work on, so that we would know what to do in our reworked version of the site.

My group is using Google Sites to create a new website template for Scandinavian Sun, and although I am not great at site design (at least not with my current experience), I've contributed to information to multiple pages on our version of the site. Despite my contributions and my in-depth site analysis before starting on actually reworking the site, I still have a feeling that I could be doing more to help the group. Since starting the site, I have gotten a better grasp of editing, both textually and in design, so I hope to quell that feeling by the time our project is completed. I am pleased, however, that the two pages that we will be submitting for grading at the end of the project are most likely going to be pages that I have worked on and contributed to.
