I used the website Wix to create the site since that allows us to make a site for free and still upload videos and photos. However, because this is a purely educational project, we decided not to pay for a Domain name but if we were to fully release this channel we would have the domain "www.newsgrad.com".With designing the website, I created 4 separate pages. Home, Meet the team, About and University Survival. However, at the top of the page there are 5 selections. The other one being 'contact'. However, I put the contact section at the bottom of the 'About' page.
I chose to go with the yellow header and blue background as that's the sort of colours we have been going with and I feel that is our branding. I added in the logo and chose the font Comic Sans MS for the writing and descriptions and I chose Chelsea Market for the headings as these 2 fonts looks a lot more informal and like they've been written. Something I think would appeal to the audience. I added in button links at the bottom of the home page and the video you see in the photo will be the finished video and each week that is where the newest episode will go.
With the about page, this is where we are going to have the Promo video for the channel. This is where we introduce the channel and what we do.
The about page as a description of who we are and what we do as well as the contact page. The University survival is where we will post that weeks University Top Tips so that even if they don't watch the episode, they can still know the tips for the week.
Since Simon is working on the Idents and is using the small graduation characters, I asked him to make some stills of them to add to the website. It really brought the website to life. Without them the background just looked too boring and simple but adding a few into different pages it really brings the website to life and really helps with the branding.
