Musician's Web Site Construction Service
I have constructed my own website
http://www.sugarboyclive.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk, and also one for Blues musician
Paul Cowley.
These websites have been built without the aid of any sophisticated web authoring tools. The only
computer tool used has been Microsoft Wordpad which is a simple text editor that comes as a built in with Microsft Windows.
If you are a musician and would like a website building, please feel free to
. I cannot promise sophisticated
facilities, but I can put together a reasonably attractive and functional web site on similar lines to the two sites mentioned above. I
estimate that in total for a basic website, it would take me around 15 - 20 hours work. We can negotiate a rate for my time.
What You Need to provide
- You need to have an internet connection that gives you an
amount of free webspace. Most ISPs provide this.
- A username and password to access the web space and to transfer files to you web space.
I can do the file transfer, or you may wish to retain control over that for yourself.
- You will need to provide me with the actual text to go on the pages,
such as a biography and perhaps some form
of write up on your band, and of your musical instruments.
- You will need to provide me with digital photograph images of reasonable resolution.
What would be a good idea that you provided
- That you register a web Domain name. I've never actually bothered to do this for myself,
but depending on the Domain Name that you choose, it would probably cost something like £20 per year, and
would mean for instance that I could have www.clivesheard.com resolve to the web address
http://www.sugarboyclive.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Once having bought the domain, you would have to
arrange for the address to be forwarded. Only the owner of the domain can do this, but it isn't difficult.
- Submit the site index to the GOOGLE search engine. I can do this for you if you entrust me with usernames and passwords.
