The scope of the website has to do with the audience for the website.
In other words, some websites are written specifically for doctors or scientists. Others are written for the elementary school set or for dog lovers.
The scope of the site affects the tone, amount of information and reading level.
Look at the language the site uses.

- Tone
- Do the graphics and language used suggest it is for a certain age group (e.g. cartoon dinasours probably mean it is for little kids)?
- Amount of information
- Is the information really specific and detailed or more general and gives you a little bit of information about several topics?
- Reading Level:
- Is it scientific or does it use terms specific to an occupation or industry?
- Do you know most of the words?
