6. Conventions Overview
● Majority of the websites all have tags along the top and also a search bar.
The all conform to the conventions of interesting images on their homepages
as this intrigues the audience to read on more into the website.
● Most of the websites have social media tags however a few did not conform
to these conventions. I will be including a social media tag on my website as
this appeals more to a wider audience and may expand my target audience.
● Many of the websites enlarge their logo to form the title however for some of
the simpler websites the title is smaller but because it is the logo it's more
recognisable therefore has the same effect as a large title.
