This is my final website link: http://samdotwilkinson.wix.com/katenashmusic#

This is the final page of my website, encouraging fans to get in touch. My inspiration for the top sentence was from a shampoo bottle; "Questions? Give us a ring, send us an email, or even put pen to paper. We like getting letters, no one does it these days and it makes us feel special". I liked how informative and friendly it sounded, so I decided to use it on my website.

This is the forth page of my website, outlining tour dates for both the UK and the USA, matching dates on the home page.

This is the third page of my website, I feel including a gallery helps fans to feel closer to the artist. My inspiration for this page was from the official Kate Nash website, where she uses a few key images to create a simple but effective page.

This is the second page of my website titled "INFO". I decided to use this as I thought fans would like to know, and appreciate the background information of the artist. Of course the stats and the story is made up, but I feel it adds authenticity.

This is my finished website.

The main page is what audiences see first, but the part of the page i made sure was mose prominent was the top toolbar with the artist name and picture, as the purpose of a website is essentially to promote something. The next feature is a gallery, featuring pictures of the artist, landscapes and places relevant to the music and the lyrics. To the left is a link to the track "Merry Happy" on SoundCloud. It was difficult to tyr and find the track, as there is lots of different versions, but Im glad its on there. It adds a different dimension to the site, giving audiences the oppertunity to listen to the new track and most of all promote it. The three sections underneath are "latest news", "UK Arena Dates" and the twitter feed. The latest news segment is something that I think is essential for a website of this kind, fans and people discovering the artsit need to feel like they know what they are up to, new projects they are working on, gigs they are playing etc. On the right is tour dates, with start dates in the box's and locations on the right. Also, by clicking "BUY TICKETS" links to the seperate tour page with all the tour dates in one place. Underneath this is the fake twitter account I made to make the website look more authentic, which unfortunately cannot be accessed while not in school in any other format other than fireworks.

Below is how I linked the "BUY TICKETS" button to the tour page.

This is the twitter feed I created for the artist to add authenticity and to promote the artist and their work.

The camera I used to film my clips still isn't working, so I have started my ancillary tasks instead. This is the planning for my website. I decided to use a simple block layout, incorporating different media and a main banner with the artists name.
