Website’s objective

 

Why do people visit websites?

            Because they offer what people want

 

            What things do they offer?

 

                        Information

                        Services

                        Community

                        Discussion

 

It only seems logical that people would visit my site for the same reasons

 

So what is my site offering, and how can I improve it to encourage more people to visit

 

Information

The website sets out to inform about one person’s (me) alternate reality

 

Current flaws: not enough information

 

Inherent flaws:

            Probably of interest only to that person (me)

 

            Not a wide audience (though lots of rpg stuff, this just isn’t the same)

 

                        --> insufficient interest

 

            What can I include to attract more people? (information wise)

 

            More detail, more accessible detail (make it worth visiting)

           

            Include topics which are readily understood (widen audience)

 

            Make it an important work in its field (if gain notoriety, attracts people)

 

Services

 

            Current flaws: not offering any

 

            What services can I offer?

 

                        Advice on worldbuilding (already started, make interactive?)

 

                        A place for discussion (again not unreasonable to construct)

 

                        Links to things that my audience would be interested in

 

                        Personal correspondence

 

Community

 

            Current flaws: though there is a worldbuilding community, I do not have great correspondence with, therefore

 

Should either set about creating a community of responsive and similarly content structured sites (hard not many)

 

Join existing communities, easier perhaps, but I feel that my level of response has branded me the problem child.

 

Discussion: effectively same as community.

 

 

Further points for consideration

 

            Project endpoint: To create and chronicle a reality so complete that it can truly immerse the reader

 

What methods can I employ?

 

Lots of writing

 

Lots of pictures

 

Multimedia/interactivity (?)

 

Discussion/forums/community

 

 

Prioritize medium term objectives

 

More material

 

More advertisement of site

 

Transfer to another host service, less adverts, easier to browse etc…

 

Set up correspondence with interested parties.
