My name is Dona Baker and I am a singer songwriter who produces music under the performance name Marley Boyd in an incorporated business 1820374 Alberta Ltd. My Soundcloud account with samples of my music is at: https://soundcloud.com/dona-baker-333825320

I am looking to have a website built on Wordpress or an equivalent platform (no preference).

Students should be prepared to:

• Conduct a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable.
• Create a design proposal including wireframes or low-fidelity mockups for our owner's review.
• Build a fully-functioning website, with my assistance in providing content and copy.
• Provide training on updating and maintaining the site.

Note: I own the URL's for both my performance name, Marley Boyd and my real name Dona Baker.

The Project Scope will entail:

• Creating visuals for an audience that favours jazz & blues music
• Website has a Landing page, an About the Artist page, Song Recordings page, and a Contact page
• I plan to change / add content to the page on a monthly basis.
• I do not have time to learn the technical skills to update the website, but have access to a developer who works in WordPress.
• Websites that I like are as follows:

1. Example 1: https://www.wix.com/website-template/view/html/1332?siteId=0a7a79a8-bcdd-4c19-9e36-fb43f42d018a&metaSiteId=d22a7336-6d9c-4a00-8a0e-313602f769a6&originUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fwebsite%2Ftemplates%2Fhtml%2Fmusic%2Fsinger-musician&tpClick=view_button
2. Example 2: https://www.wix.com/website-template/view/html/2956?siteId=025a60de-4e8f-413a-9692-671730439562&metaSiteId=84a76393-7199-4797-9722-e49f5dde5982&originUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fwebsite%2Ftemplates%2Fhtml%2Fmusic%2Fsinger-musician&tpClick=view_button

• What I like about the above websites are the darker, moodier colours in the first two. I like darker hues for portraying blues music. Also like that the About, Songs, Recordings etc. links are obviously placed. I like the third website as the singer has done a good job of promoting her songs and her fan club products in a way that is informative and interactive.
• Budget for the project $3,500 - can expand this if needed after the initial consultation.

I have over 20 years experience in business at a senior management level in a national Canadian company and owning a family engineering practice. I have been singing for 15 years and song-writing for the past 3 years. I am professionally trained and work with professional musicians and producers to create my music. I also am interested in the business behind song production and promotion. My songs are original and registered with SOCAN in Canada and an equivalent agency in the United States.
