- Site Title: Big Show Pictures
- Developer: xxx
- Content Focus: Big Show Pictures will be a billboard
website. Since Big Show Pictures is a very new company, one of the
main purposes of this website will be to inform the public that this
company exists. The website will offer information about the services
that this company will provide, in the hopes of attracting clients and
promoting the films that it is currently producing. At this point
there will not be Web-based interaction, but rather contact
information so that potential clients can get in touch with Big Show
Pictures.

for general release, as well as providing videography services for
companies and individuals. These services include scripting, shooting,

in visual storytelling, a skill that will provide clients with
services far superior to that of the average videography company.
The goal of this Website is to inform people of the films that
Big Show Pictures is currently producing, as well as the services
that they offer. This Website will provide a way for writers, actors,
musicians, or anyone who is interested in working on films Big Show
Pictures is currently producing to get in touch with the company. In

- Target Audience: The target audience for this Website can
be divided into two major categories. The first category will be
people who are interested in hiring Big Show Pictures for their
videography needs, whether they be private or commercial. The second
category will be people who are interested in getting involved with
Big Show Pictures' film productions. It is difficult to make any
assumptions about these audiences. They could vary a great deal in
age, race, and economic status. It is also difficult to make any
generalizations about what types of computers or connections speeds
they will have.
- Design Considerations: As a multimedia company offering
visual services, Big Show Pictures' Website must be particulary
visually pleasing, technologically impressive and able to stand apart
from other Websites in order to convince potential customers to use
Big Show Pictures for their production needs.
In addition,
Big Show Pictures offers a wide variety of services aimed at
different groups of people. It is, therefore, essential that people
are able to see on the first page the services that would interest
them and find this information easily on the rest of the site, without
having to deal with information about the services that would not be
of interest to them.
- Limiting Factors: As mentioned before the target audience
for this Website will vary greatly in their general characteristics.
It is likely that individuals who are interested in Big Show
Pictures commercial services will be using high-speed connections,
while many individuals hiring Big Show pictures for private services
may have much lower speed connections. It is necessary, therefore, to
build this page for the lowest common denominator, to ensure that
everyone will be able to view the pages correctly. At the same time,
it is essential that this site be visually and interesting, and will
need to contain a fair amount of graphics. This may be the biggest
challenge in building this Website.
