Letter to Organization

We found a website that we really thought could use some help with the design of their website. We really liked the idea of what the organization had to offer, but the website did not reflect this at all. We wrote them a letter in hopes that they would use our sample templates that we created, or atleast take some of our advice on how to better improve their existing site.

To Whom It May Concern:

We are a group of students attending the University of Rhode Island, majoring in a wide range of disciplines. We stumbled upon your website while doing research for a writing class specifically focused on electronic environments. We found ourselves interested in your website because of what it offers. Being students, we feel that tutoring is extremely useful, but a very underused service.

After reviewing and analyzing the contents of your website we came up with some ideas that might give it a better flow. We truly believe that the services you provide are extremely unique. With tutoring for math, science, and standardized tests, free of charge, this offers your community something that no one else does. The current styling of the website discourages further navigation. Therefore, we really feel that you could easily and accessibly grab the attention of a much wider audience with a more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing page.

Some of the items we wanted to focus on was creating a navigation bar that would be more organized including options like About Us, Contact, and a separate navigation button for each school subject you tutor in. We also felt that a huge part of drawing people in would require changing some content wording, the color scheme, fonts, and other style choices.

There are certain design principles that make for a quality website including alignment and contrast, which we hope to focus on. We came up with some templates that follow these ideas. We want all page elements to be lined up for a sense of organization. The items on the page will be pulled together with repetition in colors. Along with this, placing certain items closer together will allow users to understand what elements are related.

We hope that you like some of our ideas and would be willing to take them into consideration. We believe in your service and think your website could be great!
