Website

Using the website www.wix.com we have been able to create a website of our own for the purposes of promoting the release of the song we have chosen and the video that we are producing to accompany it.
Despite a few minor technical adjustments here and there I feel that the website is pretty much done. The website comprises of six pages:

HOME:
The page features a large picture of the cover of the new single (the one we designed for our digipak) accompanied by a release date for the single. This closely follows the style of the official Vampire Weekend website, which features a simple homepage with a large advertisement for the latest album 'Contra'.

MUSIC:
Features an mp3 of the song 'A-Punk' along with advertisements on where to buy various singles and both albums.

PHOTOS:
The page includes various pictures of the actual band, during live performances and from photo shoots, but also includes screen shots from our music video.

TOUR:
A list of various dates for ucoming live shows in the US, and details of how to access tickets.

CONTACT:
This includes a box in which you can email the band (although you can't actually email the band directly from our website) as well as details about following the band on twitter.

MERCHANDISE:
Advertising for band merchandise (this will of course be unofficial merchandise and you will not actually be able to purchase these items).

The only changes that need to be made are to do with tweaking design features (such as changing the font and updating the picture on the homepage).
These changes will be made as soon as possible and I will then be able to publish the website online.
Overall I am very pleased with the outcome of the website, and wix, despite throwing up some technical difficulties, has made this task a lot smoother than I had anticipated.
