Starting our band website- Theme and colour scheme

Today my group and I decided that we should start creating our band website on wix.com. We first made sure that we created a new email which included our band's name. This was so as in the web address, it would be more professional and say our band's name within it. The photos that we chose for the background are some extra shots that Elsie took when she went out to take the Exterior location shots.

We decided to tile the photos to links, for example 'ABOUT'-'SHOP'. We did this as it made the pictures more clear and competent for the viewers. However, we decided to keep the 'HOME' and 'CONTACT' backgrounds the same, as they fitted the website nicely as they were (they went along with the theme of our website). Furthermore, for the header design we put our band's name 'Firelight Falcons' and the company's logo. This therefore makes it more direct to the audience members and they can see the bands name and who they are signed to.

Also, we learnt how to embed videos on the website that we started to create, so we decided to change the video link on it to a lyric video for the song that we are making a music video to, as that will be our bands 'single'. For the 'ABOUT' part of our website, we added a picture of Alex however, we decided that we will later probably change the picture so as it looks more formal and professional (the way we want it to look).

Finally, we made changes to the template we used given by the site and decided to get rid of anything unnecessary. Here, we added the 'SHOP' link to the website, so as we can put on photos and sell the merchandise that we have designed previously. We also decided to make changes to the original templates by adding dark and transparent tiles underneath any writing, as we thought that it made it a lot clearer.

Here is the link to our website so far: https://firelightfalcons.wixsite.com/officialwebsite

Here are some snapshots from the website that we are in the process of building:

As you can see, with regards to the colour scheme on our website, for the backgrounds we have gone with different coloured skies (that are subtle) while we have used orange on some of the text and buttons. This therefore fits with the word 'Fire' in our band's name.

Thanks for reading, we will post more on our band website in the future when updates are made.
