Creating of the Website

For one of the ancillary tasks we had to create a webpage to promote our music artist. I took the lead role of creating this site. I did this by using the Program Dreamweaver where i had to create a site and than inset in a table as shown below

By using a table, you are able to insert things on to the page with ease. We did this by clicking on the ‘Inset’ option on the tool bar across the top of the page and down to the table options.

I also inserted images such as the navigational links, photos and other images of headings onto the page. I did this by clicking on the ‘Inset’ option on the tool bar across the top of the page and down to the image options. The navigation links were also rollover images using two different images so that it looks that the link changes from the colour white to blue when the cursor hovers over it.

We wanted to create a user login on our webpage. We also wanted to create a form for competition where the user has to fill in their personal details and answer the competition question. We done this by clicking on the ‘Inset’ option on the tool bar across the top of the page and down to the form options

We included a multimedia feature in our website which was our music video. However, we wanted to insert our music video on a different page on our website. We done this by clicking on the ‘Inset’ option on the tool bar across the top of the page and down to the ‘Media’ options and down to ‘Plugin’.

Our Webpage

Below is the link to our Final Website:

Our Jakatta Website!

Exisiting Homepages of Websites

In order to gain an idea of what our webpage for our artists website should look like, we reseached into existing websites of music artists. On of the websites we came across was Taio Cruiz's. We liked the look of the home page of this site and therefore analysed it to see what looks good and what features we could include on our webpage. Click on the image to enlarge it to see the annotations.

Another website that we analysed was Calvin Harris' one. Click on the image below to enlarge it and see the annotatoions of the webpage.

From looking at the researched websites, i like the idea of having the main navigational bar across the top of the page. I also liek the idea of using either a close up or medium close up of the artist on the website. Like with Taio Cruz' website, i like the idea of including a User login form onto our webpage and with the recent music video too. Headings and importants links will need to be bold and stand out for the viewers to recognise.
