Draft 1: Having looked at several indie artist websites I have found that it is a common feature to have a moving image or video at the top of the page, which I liked a lot and thought I could feature on my page. Also I have found the importance of having the artist name clearly displayed on the page as that allows the audience to identify who the webpage is dedicated to. I also kept in mind my target audience when it came to the Twitter feature as that is a popular social media platform amongst 16-26 year olds. Lastly, the layout is clear with the latest music video at the top to draw the audiences attention when they click onto the page and then the menu bar on the right side. This feature goes against common convention of having the menu bar on the top of the webpage as I feel the content of the main page should take up most of the audiences attention.
Draft 2: I decided to have a second attempt at planning my website layout. I found features that I could introduce in this newer draft in comparison to my first one like social media links that fans can click on to go to twitter, Instagram , Facebook etc pages. I felt this would connect the artist and listeners even more and allow them to keep updated on what is going on in Jame's life. I also found that changing where some of the features like purchase album details from the bottom of the page onto the top would increase audience awareness of the new album and get them to purchase the album. Additionally, I have played around with the font to see what worked better as in draft 1 I used 'Delphi sf' then in draft 2 I used 'Weathered SF' and I found that I preferred the 2 font. This opportunity to plan the website allows me to play around with what I like and don't like and ensures that I avoid making any mistakes.
