Website Proposal

1) The topic of my website doesn't necessarily single out any one particular type of person, nor does it leave room for too broad an audience.  I'm hoping to direct the subject matter towards teachers, students, and parents of the like.  Being as my topic is about self-advocacy, I feel that it would be beneficial for an diverse audience of age, gender, and educational background to learn the subject.  Not only does this give a student an idea of what could be helpful for the rest of their lives, but it also gives parents and teachers the opportunity to open their eyes a little more to, perhaps, bring the subject to the surface of education.
2) I feel that for the older generation that my topic addresses has enough of an idea of what self-advocacy consists of that they won't need too much of an explanation describing it's source; for them, I'm expecting to give more of an overlay of the importance of self-advocacy.  For the younger generation, I feel that I will have to dive more into the subject.  Generally though, I believe that the audience will get a good idea of the topic without having to dive too heavily into it's background.
3) My audience should be, for the most part, agreeable with the subject matter included in my website.  It's doing nothing but attempting to help the education system, so I believe the interest level will be at a high rate.  Being as my topic is introduced in a way to help students and teachers alike, this should give more incentive for my entire audience to stop and give a second look.
4) The gist of the conversations going on is pretty much the importance that self-advocacy plays in the educational process, and in the future of students.  There isn't a lot of disagreement on the subject; the only disagreement that sometimes arises is the fact that self-advocacy is mainly centered around special needs people instead of addressing everyone.
5) Because the web plays such a huge role in the lives of all people around the world, it seems that attempting to catch people's attention through this medium won't be a difficult task.  People enjoy visuals, and the efficiency of the subject matter.  Are the facts reliable? Can they connect with the audience?  Do they leave room for some conversational thought?  These are questions that most people center their research around.  Taking these questions, and the use of visuals (pictures, videos, etc.) I believe this should be enough to attract the audience to my site.
6) My viewpoint on this subject is directed in a mainly agreeable sense, with little room for discussion on the various other viewpoints being introduced.  I also am going to be leaning in the direction of self-advocacy for everyone as opposed to advocacy just for special needs people.  Given it may mean more to the special needs society, I feel that it should be addressed to all people because self-advocacy is beneficial to everyone.
