iWeb, Completion of homepage

Today we started to complete our webpages for our chosen band. After looking at the conventions of a webpage in a previous lesson I applied them to my homepage. I stuck with similar colour schemes the whole way through (purples, greeny blues and grey/white) and made sure the colours corresponded with my genre of indie. I also included a video of my band which was the centre of my webpage. Next to this was a section dedicated to band information which included where the band are from, who is in the band and what chart positions their music has held. Underneath the music video I placed two pictures of the band, one posed and another them playing live. Due to copyright issues I edited the pictures so they looked original. At the bottom of my homepage I linked three icons of social networking site (facebook, twitter and myspace) to their sites so it was easy to follow the band if they had a specific site linked to these social networking sites. One of my original ideas was to have a section which showed merchandise from the bands website, so I included a poster which had tour information on it which may be useful to the audience. Underneath the image I included a sentence which said 'Click here to buy The Courteeners merchandise', the word 'here' was linked to the store page of The Courteeners own homepage. After making my title banner I placed it at the top of my homepage and then placed my logo on top of that so it was overlapping the title banner and the navigation bar. Finally, my navigation bar linked to all my webpages so it was easy to navigate around my webpage.
