Well I've just been looking at the RI Pagan Pride site again, and it is the one I would like to work on. It is from an organization that I am a part of and had never realized how much help the site needed until taking this class. The content on the page is great, in my opinion, however. It is the layout that needs more work. Using the rhetorical analysis here what I see as some of the strengths.
I believe that the focus of the page is very clear. It is obvious what the page is about, and who it is directed towards. The page focuses on informing pagans of the upcoming festival, hoping to get them excited about it. It is educational in some specified areas for those who are interested but don't know too much about it. The educational pages are also helpful to help dispel the stereotypes that often persist. The page takes a great tone of voice for the audience it is addressing. People going to a festival, and the average pagan would appreciate the casual occasionally comic tone that is present on some of the pages. The differences in page recognize that multiple people will be reading this site. The genre is mostly informative, adapting to slightly different formats (lists and profiles) when appropriate. There is also a great balance of pictures helping to show the type of things that happen and give a feel for the event that words alone could not.
Overall I think the information is handled well, and takes an acceptable approach that can inform and draw people in, without pushing away.
