Ginny's official website is starting to get significant traffic and that brings a wider variety of fans, friends, followers and people from all over the globe.
OLD SITE
NEW SITE
What is exciting is when we get good and bad feedback on the #site, the #blog, #facebook, #twitter and all of the social platforms that Ginny uses on a daily basis to reach fans and friends.
The #website for Ginny continues to evolve and based on feedback from the fans we have made some recent updates. Here's the feedback and the changes we've made based on that...
"It's not clear it's a music site" - So we have made that much bolder and stronger with a simple "Love music" badge. We've also on the #home page altered the graphics to look much more like a #CD cover. We've tried to give a flavour of the "music" in the artist. Wears added in more of the EP artwork and the name of the EP - front and centre.
"The color is too washed out" - This feedback came in various phrases. People felt the site needed to be much more #pop much more vibrant. So we have added a lot more of a pop element color palate to the site. Ginny is "girly" so we have added some girly colors - young vibrant and fresh. We have added a lot more color badges and color text. But the biggest change is that we have moved from the "washed out" background images to the much more vibrant - natural color images. Great feedback "Ginny has beautiful red hair - let's see it".
"Don't force me to hear the music on every page" - You may imagine that on a #music site - you want to hear the music - right? Well not so. We found a lot of people said that the sudden blaring out of Ginny's #songs was something people wanted to choose. So we respect that. Some people want to dip in and just look at the #socialmedia feed - or the #selfies. So we have limited #autoplay to very specific pages #watch and #listen - and for the rest we have placed some songs with a #soundcloud player where you can play if you want.
"I want bigger navigation" - Making the site it was really intuitive to us that on the home page you had to click the links in the image - well not everyone thought so. So we had several requests for a much bigger bolder #navbar. You wanted it - you got it.
"Search engines come up with weird pages" - Unfortunately our page naming convention (which we thought would be different than just #music #videos #twitter etc) was more based on what you want to do... But apparently #google didn't quite see it that way. As an example - in the #searchengines Ginny's Home page just came up as "home" - and said nothing about the page. This made it a bit confusing for people doing #organic #search. Well we changed that so now if you go to your favourite search engine and type "Ginny Vee" you should get a real site name and description (let us know if not)
We have also made a lot of minor tweaks and the #code behind the site is better for viewing on mobile devices "Some of the pages don't show well on iPHONE" - we hope we have resolved some of the issues and it should look better - simpler and easier now on #mobile.
BUT - we are not finished yet. Based upon the exciting new project we have going on for Ginny (we can't say too much yet) - we are playing with a really rich - upgraded site structure which we will release some time in 2015. This will reflect new music - new videos and all important #tour dates.
We love #feedback - so please keep it coming and know that Ginny is listening.
