Adding Graphics
In this version I have reduced the font size to
allow room for some simple graphics that
illustrate what the button does. You will need to
import the pictures which can be found using
clipart.

Target Audience

• This is an extract from the SWS scenario on the
  Brooke Weston website
• The main target audience for SWS are large
  multi-national companies that are looking to
  organise events for their staff or for
  prospective clients. Since the company started
  early in 2006, a wide range of well-known
  companies have used their services.
• Clearly state the target audience and give some
  examples of these multi-national companies.
• What individual people might be the target
  audience of the SWS website?

17
Purpose

• What do people need to find out from the SWS
  website?
• How do buttons help the user find their way
  around a website?
• What is the particular purpose of each button?

18
House Style
The house style should be the same throughout.
Try to ensure that each button follows a common
theme. This should be easy if you use one of the
standard buttons in Fireworks.
