This gives me a very basic impression of how I could layout my final website design (note that the colours used are not representative of the final product).
The blue and red boxes at the top represent the toolbar and the search bar. The toolbar provides shortcuts to each section of the website. These sections will be things like 'About the artist', 'Upcoming events', 'Photos' and more features along those lines. The toolbar could also include links to the artists social media pages. The search bar allows the user to search for something specific if they are unable to find it on the main page. These two features improve the ease of use of the website and them being at the top of the page makes them much easier to find.
Underneath those two boxes are the two promotional image spaces. There are two boxes there however there can be anything between 1 to 5 images pinned up there. This is where popular or recent images of the artist can be displayed, whether they're taken by photographers or taken from the artist's social media pages.
Finally, underneath those features are the main articles and the shortcuts. The main articles are where any recent news or updates about the artist are posted to the homepage. They are the largest features on the page, so that they are easy for the user to see. The shortcuts are advertisements for other parts of the website similar to the top toolbar, but they are also links to sites where fans can buy the artist's music and merchandise.
One problem I do have with this layout is that it is very similar to the layout of Logic's actual website. Of course this plan is subject to change and may not turn out this way. Judging by the look of existing Wix websites, it most likely will look different but it remains to be seen whether that is a good thing or not. I will be developing the actual website on the website production site Wix. I will be updating my blog with screenshots and progress reports on how it comes together.
