Overview

1. Micro Site Requirements 1.1 Background and Needs

Recipes Videos on [videoportal.tv] currently, are not being actively promoted and are receiving very

few hits. During design and development, attention must be focused on driving traffic and keeping

the visitor engaged. A visually appealing clear, concise, & highly focused website that is multi

browser compatible need to be created for [videoportal.tv]. The content will include Indian Cooking,

Indian Food, Hotels and Restaurants in India. The objective is to provide the best and most

comprehensive source of information, entertainment and connection to food lovers. Visitors can enjoy

and share videos, images and words on a variety of topics including cooking shows, culinary education,

restaurant reviews, healthy living, opinion and thoughts, tips and techniques, news and events,

entertainment and others.

commercials for Hotel and Restaurants, who sell their service to India, and Indian companies that wish

to reach the world wide consumer through Internet video, Internet television, social networking, and
