Website

Today Henry showed Jonny and I what he had started on the website.
I am very impressed with his design and today have chatted with him and had a play around with the features available. It is very simple and easy to use.

I like the fonts the Henry has picked and agree with the reasons for the choices in that the soft flowing font for 'Said The Hatter' communicates the individuality and the indie genre and then the hard font underneath shows the solidarity of the band and also helps to ensure to the audience that the website is trustworthy. It creates a bond between the official and truthfulness of the website with the audience.

I have linked the band Facebook page to the to the homepage of the website using HTML code.

As Henry has said we are only able to use it at a basic level so unable to upload videos and audio clips to it. However I have overcome this problem by using the custom HTML tool and using the videos from our YouTube account and embeded the code into the box. This works just as well as uploading the video straight onto the website because it communicates to the fans that the artist also has a YouTube channel, where they may be able to view more footage.

I also thought it would be good to include videos and images of the video in progress and so during the lesson today added the Video in Progress Page. One reason for this is it is often interesting to the fans to see the stages of production and how the finished outcome has been improved from the original rough cuts. It also brings the fans closer to the artist as it can make the feel involved in the decision process.

Henry showed me what he had accomplished on the band members page for two of the band members in terms of dragging and dropping the layout, and also what he had used to create the layout. I agreed that the layout worked well and I then completed it by adding the other two band members to make it a complete page in terms of layout.

We need to take stills from the video to put onto this website to help add more content and to bulk out the text.
As of yet we have not published it because it is unfinished and does not contain much content.
