GLAB-370.4.2-Harmonious-Melodies

Objective:

Create a dynamic website with 5 pages dedicated to a musician and his album, showcasing their talent and providing information about the music.

Website Structure:

Home Page - Welcome visitors and provide an overview of the musician and album. Biography Page - Share the musician's background, influences, and artistic journey. Discography Page - Highlight the musician's album, including tracklist, release date, and album artwork. Music Page - Allow visitors to listen to tracks from the album or watch music videos. Contact Page - Provide a means for visitors to get in touch with the musician for inquiries or collaborations.

Instructions:

Step 1: Set Up the Project

Create a new project folder for the website and give it a suitable name. Set up a virtual environment in the project folder as described in GLAB 370.4.1.

Step 2: Install Flask and Other Dependencies

Activate the virtual environment created in Step 1. Install Flask and any other necessary dependencies by running:

pip install Flask

Step 3: Create the Website Structure

Inside the project folder, create the following folders: "templates" and "static." In the "templates" folder, create the HTML templates for each page: "home.html," "biography.html," "discography.html," "music.html," and "contact.html." In the "static" folder, place any static files like CSS stylesheets, images, or music files that will be used on the website.

Step 4: Design the Website Pages

Open each HTML template file in a text editor and design the structure, layout, and content for each page. Use HTML, CSS, and Jinja2 templating to create dynamic pages. Ensure that the necessary placeholders are included in the templates to display dynamic content.

Step 5: Implement Routes and Views

Open the "app.py" file in the project folder and import the necessary modules. Create route functions for each page, rendering the corresponding HTML template. Implement any necessary logic to pass dynamic data to the templates.

Step 6: Test the Website Locally

Make sure the virtual environment is activated. In the command prompt or terminal, run the Flask development server by executing:

python app.py

Open a web browser and visit http://localhost:5000 to test and navigate through the website pages.

Step 7: Customize and Expand the Website

Customize the templates, CSS stylesheets, and other static files to match the musician's branding and artistic vision. Expand the website by adding additional pages or features as desired.

Step 8: Deployment and Submission

• Deploy the website to a web server or hosting platform of your choice.
• Submit the deployed website URL or share the project files with your instructor as directed.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a musician's album website with 5 pages. Customize and enhance it further to showcase the musician's talent and engage visitors with harmonious melodies. Enjoy the process of bringing the musician's vision to life on the digital stage!
