Names, Images and Info on our website!

This week we have been looking at names for our website. We think it would be appropriate to have something loving, that girls will look at. We would like the female market to look at our site because I don’t think men would be particularly interested in “famous dogs” and gallery of cute dogs. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be…just that maybe it is not their thing!!

I also noticed that there is no other site called “Love Your Dog” and that would be a big advantage when people are searching for a site on loving their dog. It was a clever move to research and see this information before we came up with our website name. Should we incorporate the name in the home page, in a paragraph and in bold we will have SEO! Our page would appear number one on Google.

We have also started to get some of the information and text that we want to include in our webpage. Getting the information is fine as we can find it anywhere really but it is trying to put our own twist on our page. We have taken bits from a few different pages and picked out the best ones. We had a look at http://www.wikihow.com/Love-Your-Dog and http://www.loveyourdoggies.com/. I have to say I quite liked both of the pages and the layout that they had.

Emma got a lot of the images of different types of dogs and made a collection of them for our site. She basically just Googled images to get them. She is also using some images of her own dogs.

The section on prevention to cruelty to dogs on the page is proving quite difficult because we can only really find information on animals as a whole…we are going to try and go through many different sites and offer the best information on prevention of cruelty to dogs!
