Designing my practice Homepage
04:28
What have you learnt from Wix?
From Wix, I have learnt that it is easy to create a website that displays exactly what you want for an artist depending on the genre and style. There are many ways in which a website can sell an artists products and it is a great way to do so whilst also creating a star image for the band. On Wix, you can move pages around, change colour schemes, add images, sell products and is a great way to portray an artist to an audience.
How i've applied conventions?
I applied the genre conventions by the use of showing the bands latest video on the homepage, adding tour dates and a section that allows you to buy the tickets to see them live, a news page, an about section, merchandise and a contact us section. The background includes images of their album artwork. I have made the font of the title of the band similar to the title on the album artwork so that it all links together. All of these qualities alongside using the form of a multi-page website, creates a star image for the artist. Audience have easy access to a range of information about them and can even book a live experience of their music on the page. This could lead to fans wanting to buy their merchandise.
What worked well and why?
Each page had different and important information on that audience members would like to find out about. For example: tour dates, news about what the band are doing/ what has happened. It is a great way of displaying their new song/album, for example- the youtube video comes up straight away and on another page there is a way of buying the album. The Aesthetic all matched keeping to a light blue theme.
