Making a website for Crystal Moon (our imaginary band) was really effective for bringing the band to life and making it much more like a realistic band using another platform of social media to market and promote the band. The website includes, a giftshop, background information about the band and tour dates for the forthcoming year. We decided that these things should be included because we looked at the websites of other bands and these were common inclusions and so we decided to do the same to make us fit in amongst the likes of Oasis, Kasabian and Blur.
I think the layout of the website is very impressive and makes us look like a professional group of producers. The design is not only attractive but is also very simple and easy to understand which is key for websites, it is very 'user-friendly'. I also think the content is good and realistic. Within our group we delegated separate roles to prepare the website and I was asked to complete the Tour dates. Rather than just writing down the cities and the dates, I researched into the capacities of arenas, found ones that our imaginary band could realistically fill out and chose those.
We are going on 3 tours, one to Europe, one to North America and One to the Uk and every venue used on the website is a real venue which is used for music. I thought this attention for detail may give us an edge over other groups as it makes it much more realistic.
Despite the positives, I think we were restricted with the website creator that we used as it only allowed us to use 4 pages whereas another website may allow more and we could have delved into further detail about a few things to help make the band more convincing as obviously a famous band would not have these website restrictions. Overall I think we adjusted and dealt with these limitations well though and produced a good final website.
