Peer Website Feedback.

Generally most people who marked our website gave an average of 7/10. Lots of the comments included that we needed to make links for our social media pages so that people can click straight on the link and go to our social media pages. Some other comments included that the tour page should have more links to it where people can buy the tickets. A lot of people really liked our merchandise page. Also some people thought that our 'About Me' page should be the first thing that comes up on the website. 

·         The social media accounts should be linked simply through the buttons for the different socials, as a viewer I shouldn’t have to then go and search your username on different social medias. The video underneath the social medias should maybe just be an embedded gif or video without the music and is on a constant loop without the black screen of loading. The music screen has no image or actual music to play. The coloured image in the photo gallery really stands out against the rest which are black and white, breaks the mood that is being given off which a more emotional side than trying to show off glitz and glamour with bright makeup, either make it another black and white picture or take it out. Also some images within the gallery look a bit too casual where as others really do set up the character of the artist. There is no links to buy tickets for the tour, otherwise that page looks really nice, I like the continuation of the little design elements around the writing. Gives a sense of class to the artist that would otherwise maybe not be felt. Songwriter is spelt wrong: “songwriter”. If you moved from LA when you were 2 were you really raised there? The merchandise is all really good and the first site I have seen with reasonable prices that are accurate to the idea of being a new artist on the block. Would maybe not have gbhs emails for your management, maybe have @mya instead. The navigation of the site is really easy, the artist brand looks really clean and professional and is seen throughout, establishing that look all of the time and you can clearly see spaces for future completion of certain tasks. 8/10 Nathan Henton
·         MYA- The one thing that annoys me is that you do not have a link that sends you straight into the social media accounts. This could be an underlying factor because some people do not have the patience to find your Instagram account by using the URL code for example. Accessibility is key in websites. With the tour dates it’s just a load of scribble, maybe have links which take you to an area where you can book the tickets for example. Make it look as professional as you can. As if it’s your business, make it evident how you can pay for these tour dates.
·         MYA – Good design, however not much to it, flesh it out a bit. The social media pages are not linked, could include this, would make it more professional and would add another feature to your site to improve user interaction. The Instagram logo needs the white background remove otherwise it look a bit tacky. Also what is the idea with the yellow for social media, and different title colours, there is no continuity between the titles for each section of your site. 6-10 Ben Griffiths
·         Make a proper shop using Wix-shop. Looks crisp for majority needs a tad of work on some of the fonts and boldness. Level 3
·         First photos are nice. The arrows guide you well. Icons of social media could look better (cut out white). Shall I scroll or click links? A lot of scrolling down the pages to see all of information. Really like the colour scheme and photos used. Merchandise is clean and well done. Nice text on tour. Think the text should match the title and the boarder. Social on every page.
·         Not sure that I like the collage of the photos as you enter the page, they are good photos but could be too many of them as they take up a lot of the room. The tour page looks a bit basic. The gallery looks really good. I like the about me page. Merch looks really good, I love the shoes.
·         The continuity of black and white is good throughout and the pictures and the photographs used have created shows across the image of the artist well. You also have a good range of merchandise for fans to choose from. Although to improve it I would make the home page more interesting and the icons used for the social media do not fit the rest of the website and some of the borders between pages also do not fit. I think you need more about you as an artist. Level 2- 5/10

·         Merch page looks professional Text on About Me page is really good Think every page should be individual instead of just being all on one page Need more on Home page instead of just picture – combine About page and Home? Should have social media links instead of just having username Cant click photos Not sure about colour yellow of button when you’re on it Level 3 – 7
·         7, - I like the animations and transitions used throughout the website. I also like how the font type is used. Pointless crown.
·         6- The links to the social media do not work, this will make it better if the links work, the tour dates do not work, have a link to bands in town, I look the photos on the website and Need some more details about the artist.
·         like the logo, don’t like the font, can’t buy the merchandise, not that many photos. 5/10
·         6 - Good first page, maybe add in a quote from a magazine company etc.? Add a picture to the music album. On the tour thing, you can use bandsintown and it makes the tour thing interactive so if you wanted to improve the tour. Use the shop feature on the merchandise area. Also link the Facebook link at the bottom.
·         The images of social media should link to the artist’s account. You need to add more songs to the media player as it’s meant to be the whole album. The coloured photo on the gallery doesn’t fit with the black and white I think you should either keep them all in black and white or add more colour photos. I also think that you need to add more photos in different locations. With the tour dates there is no link for the audience to buy tickets so how do they come to the show. The light box isn’t personalised which doesn’t make it unique. I’d give it a 6/10.
·         Links could be added for the social media sites. Could put more songs on the music page – like the links to listen to them. Not sure the coloured image matches how the rest of the images are all black and white. Could put link to ticket master on tour page. Id mark this website a 6.
·         Home page picture cuts off her head. Like the design and layout of the website. Like the merchandise, different products. Need links to buy tickets. - High Level 2
·         No videos under the video icon. Could maybe have a different font at the top as it is a little bit plain. I like the way it zooms in at the top and the pictures are nice and clear. Could have some more pictures on the slide show. Level 3- Grade 8 Jono
·         Would be good if you could navigate through the photos, merchandise is good and some of the products are unique (teddy bear and shoes), maybe the home page picture could be a single picture instead of tile effect? good colour scheme of black and white with a pop of colour. - 6/10 Level 2
·         Really like the layout of the website - images match the synergy and look professional (Level 3) Like how each page transitions and also how there is a pop up where you can subscribe! Really like the photo album- however throughout the website, the scrolling becomes annoying and confusing
·         Level 3 - Great pictures and good synergy! Maybe have some more pictures of her not being so serious, so that you can see a more caring fun loving side to her.
