Read the following specification carefully and prepare a planning document for developing a website for your IT startup company. The planning document should contain the following elements:

1. Need Analysis: This section should explain why would you want a website? What are your goals and objectives?

2. Target Audience Analysis: Wrongly targeted audience often result in stray a website. Read the content of Table 1 and write a paragraph on who will be your audience, their demographics (interest, age, skills etc.). Also write a few lines of justification as to why the selected audience fit into the chosen categories.

3. Competitive Analysis: Elaborate who are likely to be your competitors? Please remember your competitors can only be  individuals/businesses who have their operational websites online, and are working in a similar industry. For example, rogerfederer.com can be a valid competitor for a personal website. Pick any two such websites that you may regard as the best and the worst in this category. Do not attempt to write about large organisations such as Telstra, Qantas or Optus; they are not your competitors.

4. Raw data/information gathering: Raw data is the data that don't go over the website. They serve as placeholders for the websites. For any two of the pages, provide some raw data e.g. text, images, or audio/video

5. Information Architecture design: Draw a sketch of your website (choose any three from the following specifications). Similarly, provide wireframe of at least one page, e.g. home or about.html. Finally, produce a mockup of a webpage (only one page is enough).

Table 1 on next page has the description of all the pages of the website that you need to create in assignment.
