Purpose & Goals
The purpose of this website is to promote the services of a professional singer and vocal coach who offers personalized online singing lessons. It will act as a digital hub where potential students can discover her background, teaching style, and course offerings, while presenting her brand as both an inspiring performer and a dedicated teacher.
The main goal is to attract and engage students who are eager to explore their musical potential.
– Primary audience: Teenagers and young adults who’re passionate about music, have open minds, and a wish to express themselves.
– Secondary audiences: Members of the Brazilian diaspora in Vancouver, who may appreciate having classes in Portuguese and the option of paying in Brazilian Real + young Canadians who may find this payment structure more affordable compared to local alternatives
Hosting Provider Selection Rationale
Host chosen: Bluehost
Rationale:
I selected Bluehost because I believe they are the option that offers the best balance of cost, features, and support. In particular:
– It includes a free domain (first year) and SSL certificate, which reduces costs and adds trust/security.
– WordPress comes pre-installed, easing setup and maintenance.
– The entry pricing in CAD is reasonable.
– It offers good support (24/7), which will be helpful if I run into technical problems.
– They offer room to scale, upgrading to a to higher plan is possible without needing to migrate to a new host.
