Please find above images of my flat plan draft for my website. The foreground on both of my pages will be two of my original photos. My home page will contain a menu bar, the. video itself, and informative passage about the artist and song, and a calendar showing upcoming tour dates. My second page will contain a series of unique behind the scenes content. Specifically there will be both a bloopers reel and behind the scenes montage video.   

 I will build my website using Wix. I feel that this builder is most suitable as, having read a variety of reviews, it generally receives a more positive reception from its users. It also has far more users than weebly, meaning that it is likely a more popular choice. Furthermore, it arguably has greater creative capacity than Weebly.

  Key elements to include on website   -         Music video -         Original Images -         Synergy -         A theme -         Production shots -         Behind the scenes footage -         Logo -         Title -         Video of artist addressing audience -         Social media
