Abstract This paper provides an overview and review of a professional website administered and sponsored by the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People. The paper looks at the objective of the site, the source of its funding, its discussion of criminal issues, its links to other sites (if such do in fact exist) and its user friendliness.

Abstract This paper discusses how a Web designer needs to understand how to help companies create, develop, and implement successful Internet strategies, as well as write computer HTML code and other custom programming scripts. It looks at how successful Internet Web design is a function of combining experience in Internet marketing, graphic design, and expertise in the latest Web-based technology. A successful Website will be custom-tuned for the individual business and will take into consideration the clients' needs for Websites, intranets and extranets for corporate clients, across a broad range of industries. It also examines how meeting the needs of clients is the top priority of a successful Web designer, not displaying their programming wizardry. As a Website developer, a person must strive to accurately reflect the organization through online branding.
From the Paper "Before building a web site, the site owner must determine the purpose of the site. Will it be a contact center for customers, or friend? Will it be a central focus of the company, or a personal, virtual scrap book for the family? Will the web site be interactive, inviting the participation of the visitor, or a static, electronic brochure? The first generations of web sites were predominantly the latter, static electronic version of printed materials. The visitors could discover information, and route email through the web site to company staff. Second generation websites added interactivity to the content. The visitors could request information, and have it immediately delivered. Web sites included purchase options for basic products."

Abstract This paper discusses how a great deal of human communication is in the nature of argumentation and how in this day and age the "speech" that is going on on Websites is also in the nature of (rhetorical) argument. It examines two different websites that make argumentative claims that the author was inclined to reject to help to determine the strength and persuasiveness of those claims. The first site is the Jeb Bush gubernatorial re-elections site and it evaluates how election sites are in many ways the quintessence of argumentative speech because the stakes are so high and the second site is that of Pepsi site to see if the author could be swayed to drink Pepsi.
From the Paper "In asking what would constitute a good web-based argument for this candidacy, the answer would be one that supplied enough substantive coverage of the governor in a sufficiently balanced way that I would want to vote for him if I lived in Florida. This means that while the rhetoric should be persuasive it should not seem forced ? or so positive that it seems false.
The rhetoric on this site lacks that sense of balance. For example: The homepage of the site has a number of different options, such as "Women for Jeb", "Hispanics for Jeb", "Seniors for Jeb". I find it hard to believe that people actually think of themselves in this way. The Web site's categorization of people into convenient, poll-oriented demographics makes the campaign seem soulless and calculating, surely not the intention of the Bush advisors."

The paper discusses how ultimately, as it pertains to Parents Families Friends of Lesbians and Gays, it seems undeniable that the organization has crafted a website that is informative on threatening and which strongly sets forth the stances and arguments of PFLAG.
From the Paper "Few organizations are more controversial at the present time as the organization entitled Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (otherwise known as PFLAG). The following paper will review the organization's official web site with an eye towards determining the purpose/objective of the site, the wellsprings of its funding, what criminal issues are discussed on its site (if any) and the links it provides to relevant online sources (again, assuming any are provided). No less importantly, the paper also reviews the "user friendliness" of the site as well as the overall effectiveness of PFLAG's online presence in conveying its desired message.
