Ideas

I have noticed from looking at a lot of the various websites that many of they assume you have a lot of knowledge that you may not have. The ones that don't assume this knowledge tend to be aimed at children. It would be good to find a happy medium between the two, without talking down to the user.
I have also found that many of the websites are not developed with the ease of use and navigation in mind, more to keep costs down, I would like to ensure that my website is as easy as possible to use, leaving the user with as little problems as possible navigating their way around and gathering the information they need. Making it easy to use will also encourage people to use it more, and to have a working community I will need a decent amount of people on there to make it work.
I would also like to find a way of getting the user to be able to record their voice, or video and upload this to the website, but I am unsure I have the technical knowledge for this. Although this is definitely something to look into, although if I did this I would have to ensure that there was some sort of moderator to check the content, as I would not want to be inadvertently providing porn to people!

I think the next step is to continue gathering the information as I still have some interviews to do (having a few hold-ups with that currently, should be sorted by next week) and getting information up onto the website for people to eventually start testing it for me.
