Thimble Evaluation

Web design evaluation

 

The purpose behind this task was to successfully create and design a web page for a band/artist to suit their target audience effectively and provide sufficient information for a website. This task requires using a web coding site; https://thimble.webmaker.org that allows the user to code lines to insert text, videos, images and also design the page. I have created my web page with the aim of promoting the band and also to potentially increase the band to fan communication. To determine what type of things the target audience would appreciate on the web page, I looked at several different artist websites.
This helped me find inspiration on what to include and also identify what the codes and conventions are of a website of a specific genre. In my notes I studied and compared the different navigation options each website offered and also the visual design of them, such as colours, vibrancey and shading. I created my own navigation bar using inspiration from other websites and inserted it to the top of the webpage to allow for easy, efficient browsing. I embedded three different videos, all relating specifically to the band and their music, and changed the sizes of each video player to add diversity and effect.
In this project I worked hard and aimed to acheieve a professional look and design whilst providing suitable information. I found this task partially difficult, however after perservering throughout the project I became more confident with experimenting with coding. If I was given the opportunity to do this task again I think I would add more text in the main body of the homepage instead of simply inserting and embedding videos there. I am overall quite satisfid with the outcome of this project and confident to say that I have become more experienced in the field of web design and coding, and also using Mozilla Thimble.
