Target Audience

This website is designed for selling cartoons and Japanese Anime features. Nowadays, those thing became more and more popular. There are Comi-cons in every country, even the grown ups are mad for these stuffs.

Basically, the target audiences of this website are little kids and anime fans. In fact, there are a lot of people selling these figures , models and little accessory on eBay or Amazon. But the prize is a bit high and they are all overseas, the shipment is usually over 2 weeks. For this reason, build a local online retail store might draw these people's attention.

In order to satisfy the users' interest, the website will have a complete category and items list. So that people will find exactly what they need.


Blueprint


Here is a blueprint diagram of my website:

In Product category, I’m using index terms navigation, and of course there will be preview pictures of each items. In my personal opinion, hierarchical type of browsing and index items form of navigation is probably the most fit type based on the subject of this particular website.
