Marketing - website analysis

Website analysis The site address is www.loroparque.com/ My first impression is very good because it starts with a video and is well laid out. It also is very good at grabbing your attention because of colour matching and nice scenery. The opening video is interesting because the animals are unusual and very rare to see in the face. Also there are families and pictures of kids having fun. The colour is also used through the whole website but it is not a colour that I would associate with the company as it not a massive franchise and it is not in Britain. The information is not great but they have covered the main part but haven't gone past that to get a feeling of that you really know were your going. The price list is available showing the one day price and annual. Also there is a special offer for the locals in Tenerife Get a discounted rate of 30 % off. Which shows that the company is not just trying to attract tourists; it wants the local people to come as well? Also there is a link to a partner hotel. I will show this in the screen shot below. This website is in traditional canaries' island style with a maroon background and a picture of the hotel with the view of the mountains. The lights grab your attention because they are reflected in the pool and the picture makes you want to be there. Also there are pictures of people in the spar relaxing and having special

Advantages and disadvantages of school children using the Internet for research

Discuss the Advantages and disadvantages of school children using the Internet for research Over the last decade computers have been used more than ever before. The emergence of the Internet during the 1990's allowed educational research materials to be made available through websites. Many people now use the Internet as a primary source of information for their work however there are many sides to this argument and there are doubts whether this is advisable in all cases. There are both advantages and disadvantages of school children using the Internet for research purposes, these advantages are: * The fact that the Internet is an easy tool to use and, once the child has learnt how to use the web; they can use search engines to find almost anything. * There are over 161,000,000 websites dedicated to the learning process. Each of which have information that can be accessed easily. * The internet can be accessed at all times which means that a child doesn't need to take time out to go and visit a library to find some books on a relevant subject. Also, as many homes have a computer with Internet access, a child can stay at home to do the work. * There is a great deal of software available to stop unwanted sites, viruses or ads coming up, so the child could be trusted to use the internet without being in danger as long as they bear in mind that privacy is important and as

Computer crime is a general term that illustrates crimes such as credit card frauds, child porn, scams, cyber terrorism, viruses, computer hacking, and the list goes on. Internet crimes have a drastic effect on our society and the institutions in various ways, which need to be prevented. Many Internet criminals that commit computer crimes are hackers, or people who hack into computer systems for both fun and for gaining access to an individual's information. They have formed their own subcultures and hold many different beliefs about the information that is stored in personal computers. Many hackers believe that computerized data is free and should be accessible to anyone. A subculture is a group of people who share a different set of beliefs that differ significantly from the larger society. Besides forming subcultures, many hackers have learned their behavior from other hackers. The Internet is a tool that can be used world wide. Many of the crimes that are committed on the Internet can extend beyond national borders. What one hacker does on his computer in another country affects you and me. This can be seen with the recent virus "Love bug," which disabled

Designing aquestionnaire

Designing a questionnaire I am going to look at information about the types of questions in a questionnaire and look at some of the types of answers eg, multi-choice. I will conduct my research by looking on the Internet and looking examples of original questionnaires. Below is a sample of a questionnaire that I found on the Internet. I went onto a collage website and found a questionnaire that is available for students to fill in. it has many different types of questions and different way of answering them. Most of the questions just have answer tick boxes but some had 'select from list' e.t.c The answer boxes are customisable scales, bad good, and 1-5. I think this type of questionnaire is good as it can be completed fairly quickly and is easy to understand. I continued looking on the Internet for information on the different types of questions and answers of questionnaire and I found out the existing types of questions and answers- . Yes/no . Open-ended text responses (long or short answer) . Totally customized scales (1-5) . Multiple-choice select exactly 1 of n . Multiple choice select as many as k of n (select variable number of answers. . Rank order (select first choice, second choice) . Horizontal scale/vertical scale . Optional questions/ forced questions. . Randomisations of questions and answers. . Tick boxes. . complete branching. .radio

Cyber snooping

Cyber snooping: Most IT managers and corporate internet users are convinced that monitoring and filtering procedures are an absolute necessity. This may not surprise too many people, with the dangers of online porn or race-hate sites widely acknowledged. But corporate attention is now turning away from morality issues and homing in on using internet filters to increase profitability. Companies such as the UK's SurfControl say the most common reason for businesses to use filtering software is to increase productivity of staff. If 1,000 workers each spent an hour a day on the internet, that would cost an average company about $35m a year There are now more than 30 different companies offering filtering technology, mainly US-centric, but eager to cash in on the growing demand in Europe, especially the UK and Germany. Employers can chose to veto certain categories of sites ranging from finance and investment sites to dating agencies and estate agents. And access to each different category of website can be made available on a certain day for a minimum or maximum amount of time. The answer is to install an Internet server appliance that provides a high level of access control. The Web@Work Survey 2001 reveals that British employers are five times more likely to take disciplinary action than Italian employers - and two-and-a-half times more likely to take action than their

Brief For my AS level media studies coursework, my brief was to produce an entertainment webzine comprising of a home page, six hyperlinked pages with at least 1 original picture. Research Firstly I chose to focus my project on urban music but I found that it would be difficult through my research to focus on a wide genre of music (especially with the time restrictions). Therefore I decided to narrow the concept down to one particular artist of the urban ("hip-hop") culture scene. I then began to find that the concept of a "hip-hop" orientated webzine appealed to a 13-19 year old urban music liking audience which I labelled as my "target" audience. Through questionnaires and group interviews I found the response very interesting, I found that most of the target audience felt that "hip-hop" was treated as a niche category and that the lesser known artists were not being represented. On the questionnaire a question asked: Do you think that there are enough hip-hop dedicated sites on the internet? Approximately 60% of the answers I received said that there was not enough "hip-hop" sites on the web and many highlighted the point that lesser known artists were being represented. With the research I chose to focus my website on Nas (Nasir Jones) a massive artist in the "hip-hop" community but does not have many websites that are dedicated to his music, life and career and. I

Symposium on Media and Piracy.

26/04/2010 Symposium on Media This symposium addresses the Media’s responsibility in terms of changing its targeted audience’s attitude. It also discusses the issue of piracy, which is considered to be one of the widespread and dangerous concerns as a result of new technologies. The symposium focuses primarily on whether the liability lies on the government or the individuals, in order to prevent such hackers from illegal downloads or accesses that might threat our privacy, especially on face book websites. To commence, Feebe discussed that the selectivity of the representations form human values. Media affects public opinion due to the selected representations that is monitored by the government. To illustrate, Media determines what politics believe to be important issues by paying attention to some problems and ignoring or paying minimal attention to others, especially if we accept a constructionist approach where media representations help to construct our understanding of the world. Moreover, the selectivity of the representations might be unjustified, where audience cannot get access to the truth. The second presenter, Sophie, reported on the role of technology for piracy actions. She addressed the main challenges and concerns about who is responsible to be sentenced under the term of piracy. Should it be the up loaders or the downloaders or both? Is there a

There are going to be many links to different websites on mobile phones so people can get a rough idea about how good the site is and how competitive we are in the mobile phone business. The reason im making a website on this topic is because mobile phones are very popular and there is a huge demand for them in the world. The background colour will be dark and the same on every page so users will not have to adjust the contrast of their monitor, the font colour will be quite bright so it stands out on the background otherwise the users of my website will have a difficulty reading the font. The font colour will not be the same on every page it will vary through the bright colours so every page will have its own unique look. The font size for normal writing will be about a size 12, this size will vary through different sizes so you can tell which piece of writing is a heading and
