Project Description:

Basic design elements for interactive website for internet & FM radio station

Station currently streams 24/7 around the world playing non-stop house & dance music. The audience is youth/young adult so the website must vibrant and engaging.

As the station grows there may be more opportunity for other work.

The station is currently 99% automated using the StationPlaylist software www.stationplaylist.com

The station will also be starting FM broadcasts as part of the Low Power FM community network within the next 2 months.

With the launch of the FM service there will be an increase in live DJ’s both in the local studio and remotely connected via the internet.

Branding and logo will be required, please indicate if this is NOT included in your bid

The following is a list of items we would like to have, obviously we are open to suggestions

The station receives no money from advertising or commercials, a very very small amount is received from donations but this does not cover running or production costs. The station is run by enthusiastic volunteers so we do not have an unlimited budget.


Sitewide

Header to remain constant with logo and tabs/links to the other pages
The new site must include some kind of Content Management as there are several items that will be updated on a regular basis

Index Page

Logo including tagline
Link to embedded streaming audio (2x mp3 audio streams) Possibly embedded player and/or popup player
