Webpage Creation (continued)

Here is more of the work I have done on the creation of the webpage with iWeb. I have began to change the way the pages look, add information, and make changes to formatting to make the pages more consistent.

The first page I added more onto was the 'Homepage'. I began by looking at different hand-written looking fonts to see which I thought would be the best for the headings of each page, and eventually went for 'Handwriting- Dakota'. I copied the text box containing the writing, which I made light grey to match the scheme of greys on the webpage, and pasted it in as the heading. This left me with a white box around the font which I wasn't expecting, but I liked it, so I kept it and kept it on each page after this. I also changed the image to a 'YouTube' widget, which once the music video is done and uploaded will show that. I now need to work on other parts of what the homepage will contain.
I then went on to the 'Latest News' page. I added the title of the page onto the top of the page, but decided to make the ones on this and the other pages smaller, but keep the box, and keep the width of the box the same on each. I then started writing a mock post form the band, which is talking about their new album, video, merchandise and tour dates. I will likely include some images, such as a mock up of a piece of merchandise or of the CD cover or band during recording at a later date. 
I then took a look at the 'Music' Section. This part will be tricky, because I will need to find a way to indicate that the 'Music' Videos', 'Song Lyrics' and 'Music Sheets' would be subsections and would have a drop box and link from them to each thing. So far I just have them written out, and have added a 'YouTube' widget to have the new music video shown as a way of advertising and synergy. Asides from this, this page is incredibly bare, so I plan to do a little more research to see how other bands websites set out this page.





I then looked at the 'Tour Dates' section of the site. I added the same font/box as before, and then went on to add the dates of the shows, which I made up based around when this part of the coursework will be completed by. I then went and looked a few less known bands and where they would perform, and used these locations as where the band would perform on their tour. I also added  a 'link' to the shop from this page, so consumers could link straight to the section of the shop where tickets are available, to add convenience for them.
