Extension Projects (Task 5 and 6)

Task 5: 
In this task of assignment I am going to compare 3 different websites (Private Sector: H&M company, Public Sector: TFL and NGO: Barnardos Charity) regarding to their construction features.



These are the 3 websites that I have chosen: I chose H&M Company for Private Sector, TFL for Public Sector and Barnardos Charity for NGO.

Differences:

=H&M Company and TFL have got the same menu bar position but not with the website of Barnardo’s Charity.
=These 3 websites have used different colour scheme: H&M Company used black for their headings, white for their background and red colour for their logo, TFL used blue for their logo and headings and white for their background and Barnardo’s Charity used Green for their logos and headings and white for their background.
=Each website used different kind of images where they put in different positions.
=Each website has got different purposes:

-The purpose H&M Company’s website is to encourage people to buy their products through online.

-The purpose of TFL’s website is to provide daily service updates for everyone but on the other hand; their other purpose is also to make money by selling oyster/travel cards through online.

-The purpose of Barnardo’s Charity is to encourage people to help children to change their lives and also to make money by encouraging people to donate and buy their products such as cards, book, etc.

Similarities:

Task 6: 
In this task of assignment I am going to talk 2 different organisations (JustFab UK and Barnardo's Charity) and then, I am going to compare their main job roles and functions.

"Barnardo's Charity was founded by Thomas Barnardo in year 1867. Barnardos is one of  the popular charities in the UK"

Aim: is to give hope to children who are victims from abuse, poverty, etc. and help them to change their lives and make them always happy to be able forget their pains.

Objectives: is to raise/make profit/money from selling their products though in stores or through online. Also having a fundraising activity for the charity is very helpful to get financial support for children’s needs.

"JustFab and Barnardos have also got same things to be such as both of the organisation want to be successful but they both have different ways to make it happen; JustFab cbe an successful by selling the products through online and the money that they make goes to shareholders but in Barnardos is very different because Barnardos charity make money by selling products through instore, online and donations but the money that they make they put it back in the charity to be able give children’s needs."
