Writing in/of/through the ether

A proposal for the O'Neill website

I think that our class can really do a great deal with this website. They have given us plenty of information and visuals to work with. I think a good way to approach the organizational disaster is to think about the different types of people who would be looking at this website and what they would want to get out if. Maybe we could assign different teams to be "The Visitors", "General Interest", "Historical", "Applicants", etc. This would help all of focus on the needs of the viewers of the website. Therefore, if a someone wanted to visit the theater they could easily find directions without spelling errors and where they can find a visitor center. Or someone who wants to participate in their productions could easily find audition notices or an application. Or students in the theater could research the history of the O'Neill Theatre in one place.
Basically, I think if we all (or different groups) have an individual section to focus on, we can really help out the specfic needs of people who are looking at the website, instead of jumping into an organization method that just makes sense to us. I think we really need to get into other people's shoes to organize and set up the website appropriately.
