Landings Media continues to help Artists and Musicians put their best foot forward. This time, the power goes back into the hands of the Artist in such a way that they are able to update their own website from anywhere in the world.
“Working on the Chyrell Samson website was a joy and a pleasure” marks Rodney Ronquillo, Project Manager and Designer of the website. Now Chyrell can update her website’s blog, change the events listings, add photos to her very own gallery, upload or link up online videos, link songs to the site. The possibilities are absolutely limitless.”
One of the most important features for the website is the spam security feature, which requires guests to answer a visual question, in order to prevent software-automatic spam posts. The previous website didn’t have this feature, so the blogs would be saturated with thousands of spam comments. Once the security feature was implemented, the posts were reduced to zero, so that only real human posts could get through.
“I like the fact that I can now update my site without the need to contact Landings media, unless it is very necessary” says Chyrell. “Now I can focus more on my performances and artistry and less on trying to get home quick in order to update my website via the ftp and Dreamweaver method.”
Photos were taken in the Philippines and then they were used to create the rest of the site using Photoshop. The Backend force behind the entire site is the Drupal Content Management system. The rest of the site is styled in CSS and constructed in PHP.
The rotating header was created in Adobe Flash, using alpha channels and a few layers. A sound jukebox option will implemented in the next site overhaul, with new customized Drupal modules.
So far, it’s working out.
