Audience
Age/Price based audience
The website is mainly aimed at adults who are quite well off. I know this because their products aren't very cheap and have some very suttle blends of flavours that (in the majority of cases) mainly adults would fully appreciate.
Any audience?
Although Green and Blacks is designed to be aimed at a specific target, you can be any age, with any amount of money to buy their products. You don't have to be in their target audience.
Purpose
Purpose of the website
The purpose of the website is to sell Green & Blacks chocolate products to as many people as possible, as many times as possible. And to make a good amount of money. Thats it. Simple.
Why give the option of connecting with social networking sites.
The website is linked to Facebook and Twitter because so many people use these social networking websites that a lot of their customers would be attracted by the idea of connecting with their facebook and/or twitter accounts. Also, if a lot of people do this then the word would spread, friends of the person who connected to a Social network would here about it, friends of them would connect, then friends of friends, then friends of friends etc. would see the Green & Blacks posts/tweets. So it's really great advertising for Green & Blacks as well.
Images
Why have images?
On the website there are lots of good, colourful images. These make the viewer want to buy the product. They have a big changing image at the top centre of the main page to advertise their latest deals and new products.
