Planning Task Four: Website Homepage and Linked Pages

Planning Task Four – Website Homepage and Linked Pages

What will my website header on my homepage look like?

The website header of the homepage of my magazine will be inspired by those of alternative style magazines – it will feature the name/logo of the magazine at the top, with the titles of the various magazine content categories acting as linked pages below it.

The content categories for the website will be similar to those of the magazine itself, but some will be used in different ways:

Fashion – The concept of fashion being the main element of Threaded will be replicated within the website, with this being the website’s first linked page.

Beauty – The growing prominence of beauty in modern culture, with people becoming more sophisticated and more adherent to modern-day beauty standards makes beauty a category that must be explored on the website, as well as within the magazine itself.

Film and TV –The growing correlation between both style and the film industry, due to an increase in interest in the Oscars and similarly glamorous events within the film industry, and yet outside of the films and TV shows produced, makes this category key to a well-rounded style magazine website.

Music – Similar to the increase in buzz surrounding the Grammys and similar music events, as well as an emergence of the growing “festival culture” over recent years, there is once again a far more recognisable correlation between music and fashion/style than there has been previously, and that should therefore be available to view on the magazine’s website.

Travel - I intend to use photos of cityscapes and landmarks in certain cities, primarily London, focusing on fashion capitals, such as Soho, in order to make this content as engaging as possible for my target audience.

Loose Threads - This section will be key to combining the main events of all the other categories across recent weeks, as the homepage of the website will be intended to act as somewhere in which perhaps less significant, but more recent stories can be found. However, the highlights section will act be being constantly added to, just as the homepage will be, but only with the more significant stories, as they are released.

 

What content will be on your homepage and linked page?

I have decided that the linked pages of my magazine website will be Fashion.

The linked pages will feature the following articles:

Fashion

“2026 Winter Wardrobe Essentials”

“Barbour - Where Trend Meets Tradition”

I have selected to utilise the rise of formality in fashion, especially amongst the young, middle to upper-class audience, and focusing on Barbour, as this brand in particular almost epitomises the tastes of my target audience.

 

What original audio or audio-visual content will be included on your website?

I have decided to include an exclusive audio-visual interview recording of one of the film stars of a recent cinematic production. Similar to the footwear exclusive, this will also provide a puff for the physical copy of my magazine, in which the interview can be namedropped, redirecting viewers to the website.
