Web Protocols These are the rules that control how data from the internet accesses your

computer or laptop. Web protocols work in the background and common examples of them are:

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secured (HTTPS)

Wireless Access Protocol (WAP)

Bluetooth

How web protocols influence my website My website solely uses an HTTP web protocol when people access and use

it.

When I convert my website to a mobile medium, I could use the Bluetooth web protocol to present the content of my webpage to all the different users who will access my site.

My Research I conducted a questionnaire in a group of

3 in order to find suitable information for the creation of my website.

I needed to ask different types of questions about technology, websites and film genres in order to hear about various opinions. In the example below, I was conducting qualitative research; this is information that is entirely opinionated and personal.

Digital communication on my website My website will need to use certain examples from the previous slide in

order to provide an element of interactivity for the users. I plan on including the following methods of digital communication in my finished website:

Discussion forums Email Bulletin boards

Domain Structure The domain structure is a type of identifier system which can sort out

different IP addresses all over the internet.

Domain structure finds IP addresses, URLs and E-mail servers in order to sort them out into different groups of computer systems.

The actual structure itself is always found at the end of a website URL; common examples include “.com, .co.uk, .org”.

How is the World Wide Web applied? The World Wide Web has many uses and functions in terms of

communication, data and information.

Using the internet gives users the ability and freedom to access webpages and domains of different kinds, whether they are factual or just for entertainment purposes.

How the web has changed since the mid-90’s During the mid-90’s, the internet was very non-commercial, artistic, and it

encouraged people to form their own online groups on early forum websites such as Usenet. This site was one of the more prominent discussion boards where users went to contribute and exchange their own ideas.

Nowadays, the internet is used a lot more as a means for advertising products and services. The use of online adverts (e.g. pop-up ads) has steadily increased over the years, showing that the internet has now become more of a marketing tool, used by companies and entrepreneurs.

How people will use my website My website, owned by Take 2 Movie Reviews™, specializes in reviewing

different categories of films by different famous actors/directors. For example, in the image below, I am focusing on Simon Pegg movies for the time being (hence the picture of Hot Fuzz). Different users from the internet will use my site to read and watch reviews that I have made about these films, and they will be able to access different pages within the site in order to find out visual and factual information. As pictured below, users will have access to sections such as “Introduction”, “Gallery”, “Video”, “Review Blog”, “Contact” and “links”.
