Website Redesign Part 1


This website is for an organization called For the Lost.  They intend on informing people of the Lost and their cases.  This is an organization that is devoted to missing persons’ cases.  Here the members help work on these cases unlike other sites.  It is meant to be active.  Having this website up they intend on acquiring more members.  With more members they will be able to take on a larger caseload. They provide online forums that discuss missing persons’ cases.  They constantly update the cases with new findings or if the case is closed due the missing person being found.  They find that missing person cases can sometimes be forgotten or neglected.  Here they work on finding and investigating these cases in hopes of bringing these missing persons’ home.

This site is meant to be serious, there are people that go missing and are never found.  They work to help aid to these cases in any way possible. The genre I would stick to this website is informative.  They provide cases that allow members and viewers to understand the circumstances of these missing persons’.

The site provides visuals of the people that have gone missing, but other than that it is merely text.  The website itself has a lot of work to be done due to different strengths and weaknesses.  The site is just too simple.  I think they would have more members if they portrayed their site in a different way.  More information on the main page would be a plus and the design itself needs to be reconstructed.  It is not that the site is hard to navigate but there are aspects that should be changed.
