My first goal is to create and publish a new, more functional website for Seaton Guitars. The site will have information about my instruments, building philosophy, experience as a builder, display current and past work and create a way for potential buyers to access my work. It would also be easily updated with new work and have a way for current clients to see their project in progress. My long range goal is to become more comfortable and efficient with web technology allowing me to spend more time designing and creating. During the creative process I will have a some guitar players evaluate the site before it goes live to test it's utility, user experience and effectiveness. That feedback will be important in refining the design and function of the site. Once published, my ability to manipulate and work within it's new framework will also be easy to document through screen shots before and after updates or uploading new work to the site. The contact page will provide information on those who find me through the new site and traffic to the site will be quantifiable through analytics. After the completion of the site I will produce a report documenting the project up to that point, then make a comparative assessment within about 6 months. I will be able to track visits to the site, any new work it generates and document any updates or changes I am able to make.
Website project completed and published as planned. Updates to the "back end" of the site carried our regularly. Analytics installed and tracked. New photography process in place.
