The creation of the website

Hi Guys, my group and I have started to create our own website for the main artist 'Savannah Salt' (but played by Eloise Neath). The website is one of my ancillary tasks, along with a CD cover, which will go along side my music video for my coursework. This website will be similar to the aim of our social media links as it will provide, information, pictures, behind the scenes shots, updates etc. However, along with all this, it will be the place where you can find out the most detail about the artist. The website will include background information on Savannah, contact information, the social media links, tour dates and all the artists' music.


The website is a long and hard process to create as we have to use a theme that represents the artist in the right way- this includes using the correct colours for backgrounds and choosing appropriate fonts, so that the website appears professional. Along with this, we need to ensure the website is easily accessible to get to and navigate around so to do this we have added search bars and clear labels at the top of the screen in a bigger font so it is clear they are the main tabs.

The overall theme we have gone for is very simplistic and we have ensured we do not overcrowd the screen on each page of the website as this can easily put people off. When we have included long stretches of information, we have tried to keep it concise and to the point so that the person reading does not get bored or click off straight away. The majority of the writing on the screen (ranging from one worded titles to labels to long descriptions) are in black or a dark green colour with an easy readable font. The simplicity of the website is purposely because we have marketed 'Savannah' as a new and upcoming artist and we want it to appear that she doesn't know exactly what her genre and theme is herself; she is only young and has previously sang a range of songs in a variety of genres.


We have ensured we have included pictures and videos on every page so that it is approachable and it allows the audience to feel like they're getting to know her more the more they go through the website. The 'HOME' page is very basic with a picture of the artist covering the majority of the screen, with her name next to it and her newest song release below it. This allows the reader to create their own view on the artist before reading more in-depth about her. We didn't want to fill the home page with lots of information or very feminine pictures or colours because we want to keep the audience bracket as wide as possible and if we was to fill the home page with teenage pop songs or gifs, this would instantly put off certain readers and reduce the amount of people who are interested in her, before they have even read further into her story.
