MAKING MY WEBSITEHere are a some screenshots from the process of

making my artist website on Wix.com

After researching existing artist websites I had decided that I really like the idea of having a slideshow on the homepage, consisting of photographs that were taken on the shoots. Not only does it add to the aesthetic of the website, but it creates a stronger sense of corporate

identity – the artist will be instantly recognised through the digipack, website and music video, strengthening the brand.

An important feature of a promotional website is a Social Bar – usually located in the top/bottom corner of the website page. I also ticked the box ‘show on all pages’ to

ensure the Facebook and Twitter icons would be a prominent part of the entire website, and easily accessible, rather than just on the homepage.

TWITTER

I went onto the official Sean Bones Twitter account, @seanbones and linked it to the Social Bar so that instead of being a blank logo, by clicking on it, the user could be linked directly

to the Twitter page.

FACEBOOK

I did the same with the official Facebook page, facebook.com/seanbonesmusic and linked it to the Social Bar on my website.

Whilst researching Sean Bones in my ‘artist research’ blog post, I found that he uses SoundCloud to upload his music. Although he has a YouTube channel, he seems to

upload more exclusive clips onto SoundCloud, so I decided to link one of his singles from his account to the homepage of my website. I also added several more links to the

‘MUSIC’ page of my website.
