Website Construction

This is the original plan for the website.

This is the final website overview.

Construction:

Stage 1: Design and planning: For this stage I used Pages to create an overview for website. I researched other artists websites such as; You Me At Six, Eminem and Sum 41. From my analysis, I gathered information on general codes and convention to a music artists website, with the main features being the 'news' section, extravagant home page and a insight into one of their products (i.e a video or a music track in the background).

Stage 2: Initial construction: I had to create an account on wix.com website that allowed me to create a website free of charge and publish it live to the internet. However I had limited resources to construct the website such as; fonts, colours, constrained to certain options - not a full html website. 

 

Stage 3: Final construction: After I had fully planned how I wanted to create my final website piece, I went about putting it together. I had to adhere to specific codes and conventions to create the website. One problem I had creating the website was the range of fonts made available to me. We had a fonts for our original digipak for 'Contraband', and wix.com did not allow me not embed an outside font, so we had to change the fonts throughout our work. This was the only major setback as I could put in background music, which was my only other concern. Overall I believe the construction went well for a free website creator. 

Stage 4: Publishing the website: It was simple and easy to publish the website to the internet as Wix took care of all the complications and I was able to make my website live from the click of a button.
