Artefact 6

My final artefact is complete! It can be found at http://www.georgewood.me/artefact6 and is best viewed on an iPhone/iPod Touch as it is a mobile site.
______________________________________________________________

My sixth and final artefact was a mobile version of the site I created for my fifth artefact. Combined these sites take ideas from feedback gained throughout the process of evaluating my previous artefacts in order to make a music website which contains everything people want from a music website. Mobile browsing is already hugely popular and the amount of people who use this method is constantly growing, therefore it would be important for a company to have a site that is tailored specifically for the mobile device.

I am very happy with the overall design and it is clear that it links in with my fifth artefact. It was an interesting process to take the ideas and designs from the previous version and to alter them to work aesthetically on the mobile screen.

I am very happy with the process I chose and I feel that this artefact is a nice conclusion and my artefacts as a whole have taken a very logical route to the finish.

If I had more time then I would like to extend on the artefact and build in some extra features to make it even more functional. I would also like to find a way of being able to preview songs on the device, similar to the preview on the big-screen version.

I used HTML5 and lots of CSS3 once again in order to make sure I was using the most advanced techniques once again and therefore it was completely adequate.

The site works completely as it is but I would like some way of being able to play the music without navigating off the page, however the time constraints led me to stick to just video in order to get sound, whilst I put in lots of information to make up for the lack of music.
