1) In the reading, "Design Decisions vs. Audience Considerations," Ragle - Davis states that, "If you know who your target audience is, you can tailor your site’s look and feel, content, and action areas to appeal to your audience and draw them in. If you know what your site visitors want, you can use that information to mutual benefit." She then proceeds to walk through an example of a site for a political candidate by illustrating her knowledge of who the audience is and what they want. How would you answer this for your final project site?
-In reading this article, I was able to grasp the importance of tailoring my website to my audience. As Davis mentions, if my users don't easily find what they're looking for and become engaged with my site then it does not serve its purpose. Since I know my audience's intention, I realize it will be important to provide contact information for myself. I think I will have one page that is a homepage and then my second page will either be contact info or a sample page of my writing but I'm not sure what writing would be appropriate to choose.
