	Contact pages allow websites and other forms of social media to appear credible. Contact information provides the audience with an idea of who is responsible for the content. For instance, if a college student created a website on Wordpress including his/her photography portfolio, it would be important to provide a contact page ~~in case a business wanted to offer a job~~. When a website includes contact information, the website appears more reliable.
