The website that we created for our band was created on Wix. This was hard to use at first , however after many drafts and the two of us spent time practicing and redoing work until we had finally figured how to use it. From this we can see the first draft to the final draft.
This is the first draft of the homepage of the website in comparison to the final website homepage:
The left image is the first draft of the website. we changed the logo as we thought are starting logo was too serious for our band. We changed the logo and made it on Fireworks we choose to make it more quirky and fun like our video , we knew we needed to make a clear link between our website and video and also our band so it was simple for our audience to find us. We still kept the video on the front of the page as it was a main thing we needed the audience to see. The background however we changed as we asked 10 people what they thought of the background and the majority of the respondents said that the background isn't effective, although it is very nice, it doesn't reflect the band image. From hearing this feedback we changed the background to the band.
Other changes that we made were that we made it so there was only three pages we done this as we felt the more the audience has to search for what they wanted to see the less they would see and our website wouldn't be successful in promoting our band fully. We liked the idea that the audience saw all of the band's stuff quite easily
The homepage is much more interactive. We took this idea for the Katy Perry website as her website is extremely interactive, with photos to scroll over and links that connect the whole website to one another. However our website is not up to the standard of Katy Perry as we have a lack of resources and funding to make this.
In comparison to the first draft, the homepage has much more on it for the audience to view. We liked the idea that from the start the audience are captivated by colours and interactivity.
Whilst making the website, and knowing that we wanted the website to be much more interactive so we decided to make a welcome page for the website. This enables the audience to be more interactive with the website.
This is the welcome page for our website:
The small door in the middle of the page is how the audience would enter the website. Inside the small door is a gallery of images. It clicks through adding a small effect to the welcome page.
Looking at our welcome page we decided to add a pop up window where fans can enter a competition. We done this so that it has more of a website effect. The pop up enables fans to enter their details with a contact form.
This goes with the feedback that we received from our audience. The said that the website should interact with the audience, and this enables the audience to interact.
Here are some other pages of the website. We kept the theme the same as the background is the same and the contents have been kept minimal.
We wanted to keep a shop within the website. Fans can then buy merchandise directly from the website.
This page is the tour page. It features a link to buy tickets for the tour, tour dates and a map of where the band is right now. This shows the audience where the band is and thus helping them to be more interactive.
