Pages on the Website

By looking at other local newspaper websites, I took the pages they had included on theirs as inspiration as to what pages to include on my website.Most of the local newspaper wesbsites had pages that included sport and news as these would be the most popular stories that people find interesting and would read about, I therefore decided to definitely have the news page as one of my hyperlinked pages as this would be the msot popular page as this is what people would expect to see on the website and also what most people would go on the website to do; read the news. Even though sport is a popular subject to write news about, I put this as a button on my website as a proposed page if I were to make the whole website but I did not include it as one of my hyperlinked pages.
The second hyperlinked page I chose to include was a local info page. Most of the local newspaper websites I looked at, such the Halstead Gazette and the Braintree and Witham Times, had a local info page with information about local events coming up and subjects such as the local weather for that day and also the week and also subjects such as the traffic news for the roads in and around that area. I chose to have a local info page as one of my hyperlinked pages as I thought it would be useful to the local people with the information that they really need to see as it is for their area and things that might need to use such as the traffic and what time and date events are taking place.

This shows the pages that the Halstead Gazette have decided to include on their website. This is where I took my inspiration from for decinding which pages on my website should be hyperlinked. I took the most obvious page of news as one hyperlinked page and then the idea of a local info page as I thought this would a useful and relevant page for the people that would use this website.
