Potential Approaches

The approach I undertake to designing a website depends on the information conveyed/ theme I chose to explore. These are some initial options:

Cause and Effect
These explain causal relationships between various physical or conceptual stages; for example, the causes of the recession in the US and its effect on the global economy.

Chronological
Chronological approach explains an event or process as it happened in time. Presenting information on a timeline enables readers to analyze the temporal relationship between various stages of a process. 

Quantitative 
Quantitative conveys statistical data to readers quickly and clearly. These graphics include charts, bar graphs, tables and lists.

Directional
Directional data can navigate readers through information. Often seen as a narrative approach, where there is only one particular direction or orientation. Numbers, symbols, icons, diagrams, graphs, tables, arrows and bullets are used to communicate information. 

Product 
Product websites can be used to promote particular products and goods to viewers as well as provide additional information. Combining images of the product with data makes it easier to comprehend large amounts of information in a limited space.
