R+P Post 23: Planning my web pages

An artist's website is a crucial part of their marketing as it acts as a hub for all of their information, creating a cross media converged, synergised website that is easy to access for the audience, fun and interactive.

After our website research we sat down as a group and discussed the styling for our website and a list of conventions we wanted to include before Meera draw out our final idea for the homepage.

Our website flatplan
The main focus for our homepage is the album release information with a direct link to buy it and a photo of AJ, following conventions we've seen on other websites.

The website home will also be a scrolling page, showing the most important information and catching the audience's eye with each section having a different cover photo. As well as the first page seen when the website is first opened, as the audience scrolls down they will see the music video, purchasing opportunities and social media links, including an embedded live Twitter Feed.

Below is a zoomed out screen shot showing a section of Jason Derulo's website, with the different cover photos.





Also on our website, inspired by the research seen in post 11, we will include a menu bar which will include the pages:

  • Home
    • as outlined above
  • About 
    • giving key information on AJ and a personal insight into his personality with fun interviews
  • Music 
    • purchasing opportunities for the album and individual songs as well as information into the writing process and what inspired them 
  • Videos 
    • the music video will be embedded here along with behind the scenes footage of the shoot and funny bloopers
  • Tour 
    • dates and address for AJ's live performances
  • Photos 
    • professional pictures of AJ and a link to his Instagram
  • Shop 
    • purchasing opportunity for merchandise such as T-Shirts, jumpers, posters and mugs

After planning out all of our pages, we showed members of our TA to see what they thought and the feedback we received was positive, with people saying that they 'really liked the layout' and 'could see it working in real life'.
