Discuss aspects of the site’s information architecture, design, and writing that are especially effective or ineffective for the audience(s) and purpose.

For this paper, you have to use this is the website: www.godominicanrepublic.com to review, and analyze. After reviewing the website, you will write a three page double-spaced paper that applies the effective website creation strategies we’ve been reading about and discussing to help us to understand the site’s rhetorical functions and reader-writer participation in it.
In your paper do the following:
•Provide an overview of the site, its purpose, and intended audience in a paragraph or two.
•Discuss aspects of the site’s information architecture, design, and writing that are especially effective or ineffective for the audience(s) and purpose.
Ask yourself:
•How effective is the homepage in serving as a portal to the rest of the site?
•Are the information pages crafted effectively? Is the information broken up into usable chunks? Are the pages broken up into topics? Is only essential information given? Have paragraphs been kept short?
•How effective is the overall design and layout of the website? Are themes and colors consistent? Is the font appropriate? Is the color pattern effective? Have headings been effectively utilized?
•How effectively does the writing style of the site reflect who you understand the audience to be?
You may wish to break you paper up into sections with headings that deal with different areas of your analysis. The best papers will connect at least some of the writer’s observations with principles drawn directly from Redish’s Letting Go of the Words. Chapters 3,5,6,7 and 8 would be particularly useful here.
