Initial Website Planning

As a group, we spent one lesson in class deciding on the basic components of our website.

The basic pages our group decided to include are as follows:

- Homepage
- Synopsis
- Cast & Crew
- Gallery
- Downloads
- Soundtrack

We decided on a basic yet effective colour scheme of black, white, red and greys as this would create cohesion with both our teaser trailer and our other products (e.g. poster and DVD cover).

Here is the uploaded spider diagram of our basic group planning for the website...

We then combined our initial ideas of the homepage layout and came up with four possible designs:

After exploring Google Sites, we decided that we wanted to use Macromedia Dreamweaver (See Emma's previous post about Google Sites) to create our homepage, so I set about creating the pages we had decided on. I then set up a title area and left hand menu system on all pages, and created working hyperlinks between the appropriate pages of the website. After changing the colour of the backgrounds I added in basic titles that can be changed at a later date if necessary.

When the website homepage is completed, I will take screenshots and upload them to our blog to show the final design of our own homepage.
