The website was more my job although Faye helped me a lot! and we worked as a team on it, picking colors and saying what worked best. I suppose you would say created the website and me and Faye are proud of the final product :-)
So this is our home page, we used a similar image to our album cover without the same edits and a different background we done this on purpose so it all links in together. By using this image it gave us some color to the main page and meant we could have a color scheme that all worked. We used the plum on my lips to match the tool bar and background colors. There are 7 links on the page & a social networking bar so 'fans' can click straight on them and will take them to Lila Eden's pages.
Gallery page: where you will find pictures of Lila Eden. I added some photos from my life so there's some from when i was younger, on holiday, friends outings; we also added in things like crowds and some quotes just too make it look more like an artists. When looking at other artists websites they all have a little section saying something about themselves so on word i typed out a small section that i made up about 'Lila Eden' and then saved in paint to make it a photo and added it to the gallery.
Contact us: for this page we added a phone number, email, address and a Google maps to make it more interactive and realistic. This page isn't really that interesting but every artists website has one, so is important to have it. When i first done this page it was just very basic because i hadn't realized you could make it like this with a template available from wix, I think this one make it looks a lot more professional and glad the way the page turnt out.
Video: our video page features our music video for thirteen thirty five and then another video we made especially for the website. The second video is 'live lounge' style video and makes it a bit more personal the song used is the live version of thirteen thirty five and we created a small snipet of it with footage. Along with the videos i added Dillon's music from sound cloud to be more realistic.
Live: making this page was probably the most annoying, because for the page the dates section i copied the style from ticket master and had to crop and change each date to match our website although there's not a lot of dates they all kept on re sizing themselves and changing position! but eventually i got all fixed once i had got a hold of it. I added in a buy now button from the website which also links the user to the shop page and allows you to add concert tickets to their basket.
Shop: This page has all our merchandise on, at first this page i just really couldn't get my head round it, i couldn't work out especially how to add it all the page because you have to add it to a collection which i obviously didn't get! but i got a hang of it and can do a lot with it now, which I'm really pleased about and felt like I've learnt a lot. The shop page is a typical lay out if you click on the item you can it to your cart and then pay at the checkout which everyone will be able to use.
The naked truth: This page is a special order for our artists album! I got this idea from looking on Birdy's website, i think it makes our website just that even more bit professional and have an edge! the page only took me about 15 minutes to set up and i added buttons such as the available on itunes, buy now and the filling out of information just small details like this is why i think our website is really effective and realistic as i had tried to the think of all the little things to make sure everything linked together.
