CF Website

Audience
After a full day of research I have decided I am most interested in building an informational website for young teens with CF. I want to include videos of kids with CF, loads of interactivity and some games. The site will be directed at middle and high school kids with information about dealing with CF and friends, school, family, eating, treatments and the like. Older teens get upset when they realize there is a high percentage of a chance they cannot have children.

Design
Bright colors and no white space seem to be prevalent among websites for middle school and young teens. A rockband feel is prominent for the older teens. To incorporate both I'm going to use elements from Phineas and Ferb, the rockband elements from Hannah Montana and bands like Lifehouse and Switchfoot and the interactivity and connectedness of websites like nick.com and disneychannel.com. 

Content
I want to incorporate the use of video into this project. I've never used video in a website before so it will take some time for me to learn the basics. I also plan to build the site using div tags in dreamweaver cs3 and giving them interactivity using javascript.

Next Step
The next step is to further develop the content and then later build the design around the content. I've decided that in order to get great content that users find helpful and that will keep them coming back to the website I need to 1. Find other CF websites for teens and see what kind of content they have and 2. Ask CF patients what they would like to see on a website and 3. Make a list of content ideas.
