Planning the website

After deciding i wanted to create a website for my artist, I felt it was important to look the websites of other artists and understand the conventions so i could include them in my website.

Here are a few examples: 

 Rihanna

Ciara
 Nicole Scherzinger





Looking at the ones above and others such as Beyonce and Katy Perry, i found on the homepage the following  features increasingly popular:


  •     Slide show  in the middle showing pictures or a video of their latest music video videos

  •     Their name in the middle of left hand side at the top with big letters of the first letter of their name

  •      Links to their social networking sites (icons at the top of the page)

As these were the main 3 things that came up, this has helped me to understand the conventions used when making a website.


I was thinking of having a capital 'H'' for Hannah and using the colour pink – bright but dark. Pink is very girly and hence this represents her personality.
A black background to show she is quite edgy as well.


I also found other page links for example:

  • About (About half a page explaining how they got where they are)
  • News (The latest from whats been happening in their lives)
  • Tour (Where they are going to performing so fans can go and see them live in concert )
  • Videos (All their music videos)
  • Merchandise (Selling goods and services with their names on them)
  • Gallery (A whole load of pictures)
