The whole website I designed in iWeb.
I started with a background that fitted in with the style I have been using for the rest of D'Addario's products. I then created text with the same fonts used on the CD covers and added blue shadow as seen on the CDs. I used the CD covers I had created on Photoshop to add to the look of the site, and bring convergence.
Using ideas gathered from analysing websites of real artists, I put together a selection of boxes which would contain information vital to a bands website such as 'tour dates' 'discography' and so on. At the top of the page I created a navigation bar which I later added hyperlinks to that correspond with the other pages of the site. I noticed that most websites had one of these and thought it would be the easiest way for people to find their way around the site.
Once I had added all the information such as photos, videos, news, comments, tour dates etc. I hyperlinked them to there own page, adjusting the settings so that if the mouse hovers over them, they turn blue. I thought this would fit in nicely with the whole style of the website and D'Addario's style as a whole.
Once I had finished putting the site together I had to publish it. To do this I had to save the whole website to one folder. I then requested to put it on the schools server and it went live at https://webmail.bulmershe.wokingham.sch.uk/media/DAddario_Home/Home.html
