If I was to create a website about immigration, I would create it as simple as possible. It would be simple because I wouldn’t want my viewers to seem confused or to find it complicated when they are navigating through it. Information wise; I would have it organized by race and time period (chronological order). Having it in time order makes everything much easier because the viewers won’t have to keep jumping back and forth to make sure they they are in the right time period, and plus it just makes logical sense to me. Having it organized by race is also important because that way you can compare all of the different types of people that were migrating instead of placing them all into one big group. Along with time and race, there will be different topics within those groups such as: reasons for migrating, benefits, employment, native reactions and outcomes.
Design wise; because I’m going to have a budget, the layout would be simple, easy navigation, and most likely bold colors/ distinctive images. Maybe a few slides shows also.
