Project Profile: Sparks Official Site
Republic Media approached We Got a Pulse! on behalf of one of their clients: Sparks. Sparks are the unique pop innovators with music spanning back to the 1970′s across 21 albums.
Their individual style was asked to be reflected on their official website. Rep. Media requested a completely Flash driven site, with a content management system. New features such as a member’s only Fan Club area containing exclusive content were just a few of the intricate aspects of the site.
The whole site was to be based on an antique typewriter, which the band themselves were adamant on featuring sounds from. With the typewriter as the central theme, the desktop items came naturally as a secondary navigation, all encapsulated with a music player, pumping out some of Sparks’ finest hits.
The other main feature of the site was to integrate an auction system. The auction would allow users to sponsor the latest Sparks 21 albums in 21 nights tour, by bidding on individual nights. The auction is silent, though users are notified when their bid does not exceed the current highest bid, and are automatically emailed when they are outbid. This whole system was then integrated into the CMS for Rep. Media to manage and monitor.
Lastly, WGAP! were asked to create a new look forum to stay consistent with the website.
