Web project
Choose one of the following website topics
1. Clickbait website
2. Fake news website
3. Fashion blog
The first 3 topics generate revenue from a one-2-many e-business model – follow the logic of profit maximisation within legal boundaries.
There is no fixed number of HTML pages. A clickbait website might use 10-20 or even more pages for the click-through. A fake news website or a fashion blog might feature 3-5 articles or blog posts, plus some other pages (mission statement, about, contact etc.). The design of a fashion blog might be rather sophisticated (background video loop) compared to the cheap look-and-feel of many clickbait websites or many fake news websites. However, there are also fancy clickbait websites such as Astrology Answers, which work differently, not by using sensational images but sensational promises.
You choose one of the topics, then read the literature specified for the topic (below) and start your independent research. Look at comparable sites, check the library catalogue and based on your findings.
Again, not every topic might use both a left and right sidebar, for example, or all of the social media listed above, or other. A fake news website and a fashion blog might have a Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. A fake news website might not use Instagram but a fashion blog would. You take these decisions based on the requirements of your concept and profit maximisation.
