Overview
Overview
The goal of the project was to redesign the website of the Art Department at University of Nevada, Las Vegas because the current website is not well presented to attract new students and is not providing enough information for their parents/guardians.

SWOT Analysis
In order to understand the project scope better, I chose to examine the UNLV Art Department from a business standpoint.
STRENGTH:
The UNLV Art Department is located on the east side of the campus. It is relatively old but maintained. Decent equipments and facilities are available.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Museum and gallery exhibitions are frequently promoted within and outside campus. It is affordable to live in Las Vegas and attend UNLV and so attract more students. There is a strong up and rising art community locally.

RISKS:
Big competitors such as the Art Institute and California colleges. There is not enough headcount of full-time faculties to deeply nurture the programs. Other departments are better funded.
