LO2 - Potential revenue

Potential Revenue

There are quite a few companies who would want to sponsor / invest like toys r us or other toy companies which might want to sell the products on there site or in there store so they could spinor to have the rights to sell the products.
Toy companies would also want to advertise non- wooden toys or products as it would steal customers if they were selling similar products but other toys like big plastic toy cars are in a different market but have potentially the same customer base with the website attracting people who want to buy toys for there children is exactly what they're advertising but a different kind of product.
There is also a completely different kind of company who would want to advertise which links to the products like in the pictures of the products on the website you can see the products in different environments like sand where a company could advertise to sell a small sand pit area for children to play with there product in and try it out like in the picture over a different surface. Depending on what the company thought was best to go with the product there could be either two sponsors like "Duplay" which has a small exploration sand tray or "fun4kids" which has a big sand pit depending on which size with both companies having a range of sizes.

LO2 - Information Flow


The user can navigate through the sites in many different ways which I have made easy by displaying  different buttons and text which can be clicked to then bring the user to the releveant  page which they want to reach. 




The Small Machine logo will be displayed at the top of every page which isn't just to remind the user what site they're on but it will also link the user back to the home page from any page which they may be on so they have easy access to get home where they have a variety of information and not just stuck on that one page. 



The user can easily see where to login or create an account which will allow them to save details for future payments or get news updates about new products or latest news about what the company is doing. The user can either click the login/create account text or the person above the text which will both link them to the login or create account page which will be displayed on every page so the user can easily click on it and not have to click back to the home page just to go to that page.




The checkout button will be displayed at the top of every page so that the user can easily checkout the items that they have wanted to pay for later and have shopped around they don't want to be searching around the home page or for a link to buy the items they want to purchase. The number of items in the basket will also be displayed and the user can easily take something out or search around to add something in.




The search bar will be at the top of every page where users can quickly and easily search for something that they will be looking for on the site, it is on the top of every page so that it makes it easy for the user instead of having to move and look around the site. If the user can't see what they're looking for on a particular page or the tab then they can search for it.



The tab bar will be displayed at the top of every page below the logo, search bar and other things where users can easily navigate to different pages to find out information which they want to know about or have a look at products and add them to the basket. 




LO2 - Lesson Objective

In today's lesson I will be completing the information flow where I will be showing how the user can navigate through the site.

I will also be starting and aiming to finish the legal and ethical post where I will talk about assets that I need, Regulatory bodies, copyright and more.

LO2 - Website Features

The ideas below are examples which I was to put on my website where the background changes whether the person is scrolling and or moving as well down the page. This makes the website look effective where the audience doesn't have to look at the same screen and the background moving whilst they scroll around makes it eye catching and keeps the audience interested.  I have decided to take the idea from both the Sumo website and Laurameroni website but I have used my own idea to create something which would work for my website because there is no point using exactly what they've done because it wouldn't go with what my website is about.

The idea for my website is that whilst the audience isn't scrolling there can be different products appearing on the page after so many seconds and whatever product is still on the page and the user scrolls down that product actually starts moving whilst they're scrolling.  

I will be using a font from Google fonts where I will be to use one which has already been created by somebody or I can use my own.
