First Draft of the Website

To create a Website for our Artist, I decided to use the online website creator - Wix. This website was easily accessible and simple to use. I created a first draft in order to explore all the different tools and options before creating the final draft.

How it was Created:
To create the home page for our website, i uploaded a picture of our artist Dani, from which we took on our photoshoot for our digipak, I chose this picture as it was bold and it shows clearly what type of artist she is. I then went on to the 'background' tool and changed the colour to blue in order to match the picture and then made her name the same colour and bold to stand out. It was important for the name to stand out as Dani is a young and up and coming artist and so therefore it is important for her to sell herself as well as the music. In order to make her name stand out I Highlighted the blue with black due to the fact that in our website research, a lot of the artists we looked at (including Lily Allen and Beyonce) all had an element of black on their websites home pages. Artists, usually do this in order to make their name or their music stand out. Additionally, i created a 'Gallery' tab, where i placed many pictures of Dani. I did this by uploading more pictures from our music video filming and Digipak Photoshoot. This was a good idea, as it will allow Dani to sell herself as an artist, and will allow her fans to connect with her personally. Lastly, I added a 'SHOP' tab as it is important for an Artist to sell merchandise as that is one of the main ways that a artists will make money through revenue. For the Merchandise I went onto a free, online personalised clothing website and created a few pieces of clothing with Dani's name and picture on them. This was quick and easy to make and will be a great way for Dani to additionally sell herself and her music.

Feedback and what we need to change:
After receiving feedback from people in my Media class, I learnt this about my Artists Website:

• They really liked the Home page Picture, so we should keep that as our main front page, however, they did not like the blue colour
• We should change the colour scheme to make it more similar to our music video and Digipak.
• We need to add more tabs about the Music and Tour dates
