The Street Website

During the lesson on Friday while looking at other websites, paying close attention to the Hollyoaks website, http://www.e4.com/hollyoaks/index.html I noticed that they had Character profiles accompanied by photographs of the cast, there was also a whole tab dedicated to 'picture's which consisted of things such as 'Episode Pictures' 'Picture Specials' 'Behind the scenes' and 'Photoshoot' pictures which gave me inspiration to take a whole load of pictures to make our website fun and entertaining. Interviews for website On seeing that alot of the soap websites had interview pages with different cast members we thought it would be nice to complete something like that for our website. So sitting in a group of Just me, Jack and Janki, Chris did the recording and asked us questions as if they'd been asked by a fan, questions such as "Are you excited for tonights episode?" and "what was it like working together on set?" we tried to answer these questions in a fun/joking manour but was serious when needed to be.

This is the home page of our soap opera website, it features an image of the street, or location that the soap opera will take place in. The banner at the top of the website informs newcomers on the name of the soap opera, clearly stating "The Street" and the E4 to tell them what channel the soap opera will be airing on.


This page features a brief paragraph introducing new visitors to our soap opera, informing them what The Street is and when it will be airing thus becoming one of the most important pages on our website.


The character profile pages sole purpose is the get the visitors familiar with the characters featured within the soap opera and give a little background information.


The cast interview section allows visitors who are much more intrigued with the soap opera to become familiar with not only the characters but the cast, a common feature found on the Eastenders website.


Behind the scene images gives visitors an insight into the work put into creating the soap opera.


The blog feature added to The Street website is unconventional and not common amongst any other websites we have studied, although it is a unique touch to the website.

Pictures were provided by Janki, the captions were added by Christopher and the opening paragraph to this blog was typed up by Gemma.
