Website Template

I have begun planning and mapping out how I would like my website to look once I have all my images together.

It is quite difficult at this time to put a website together as the main focus of my website is the final images so once these are completed and edited I will be able to proceed very quickly.

When opening a link to the page or typing in the url the first page that will be seen is a 'welcome' page which will feature three portrait images- one from each shoot I have planned specifically for the Abbellita website.

The logo will remain central at the top of the page throughout the website. This is still being created by the graphic designers and I will have it by the end of next week.

The website will be white to help all the images stand out while keeping it looking clean and crisp. The text will remain a neutral tone to keep with the subtlety of the pieces. Depending on how the logo turns out I may match the text colour with this or I may just make it a colour in a similar tone to tie it all together.

 There will be no captions on the images on the welcoming page as I think it looks much cleaner to just have the images there to entice the viewer. These will not be links either as I feel that if they linked through to the shoots the home page could be overlooked and this is not how I would like viewers to navigate my website.

To keep the homepage and master template looking clean I will have everything other than the home link and links to the three photo shoot images in a drop down menu under the 'home' tab. This puts the focus on the images themselves, but it is still simple to navigate the website.
I will need to think of names for the photo shoots which match with both the shoot and the Abbellita style of fashion, elegance and embellishment so the titles flow with the website.
The "About" page will have a brief overview of the brand and thoughts behind it. It will explain the process of the creation of the pieces and tips on how to wear them.
The "As seen in" page will feature images of the Abbellita pieces in other shoots which have not been commissioned and organised by me.
The shop page will feature images of the pieces on their own, and will also include recommendations of products to buy alongside the items such as coloured paints, glitters, adhesives and removers.

I am really excited to see how this website looks once the the images are on there, and am hoping to start creating it in muse next week as I get my first set of edited images back from my photographer on Wednesday 13th.
