Artist Website

  • A home page or welcome page (don't write 'Welcome') - maybe put a very strong image there
  • A contact page that includes an embedded Google Map
  • At least one image gallery with no less than 20 images -images must be well edited
  • You must include your video mashup on an appropriate page. You must make sure that no previews for other videos shows up. I will show you how to do this.
  • I encourage you to put up your song. How many people make songs? It may set you apart.
  • Your artist resume
  • A page for your Artist Statement
  • A page for your Bio (Don't say 'I was born in ....)
  • A page for your Mashup and song
  • Links to your blog, Flickr account, DeviantArt page, professional FaceBook page (nor your personal one), anything else that may impress a potential employer or gallery, etc.
  • Must register a domain name that link to your website hosted on Wix.com or Sites.Google
  • Must have clean navigation
  • Must put your art as priority - clean, easy navigatable gallery
  • Must work on mobile phones (I will test them using an iPhone) - in practice it means a website that doesn't use Flash 
  • Design must be clean. Colors must work together
  • Images must be an appropriate size
  • Images must not show any digital artifacts such as 'jaggies'  
  • Double, triple check your grammar and spelling. Once it's on the web, it's always on the web.
