For our final project (which you can find here), we studied the content and layout of Carleton.edu between 1994-2020. We performed text analysis with Voyant tools to find the most common words that appeared on the website each year, and found that “students” and “campus” rose in frequency over the years. We also used Photoshop to perform visual analysis of the layout of the website, as well as ImageJ to study the color properties of the images featured on the website each year. We found that the site has undergone many changes in order to stay updated with technological advancements and trends in website design.

From both of these analysis, we discovered that there has been an increasing effort to stress the importance and closeness of the Carleton community to the viewers of Carleton.edu.
