Lonotone

Meeting up on the Saturday we have divided up the jobs to help prepare for final presentation and hand in. We have sam working on some wireframe high fidelity screens, Bella and Jeremy preparing and rehearsing our presentation dialogue, as well as figuring out answers to potential question we may be asked. Micky designing additional slides and working on the business structure around introducing new features. Then we have Kyle working on the business model. We are meeting tomorrow to share and develop the slides and any additional things we didn't manage to get done today.

With this week we were mainly working on the individual components of the presentation. This was Micky and Jeremy working on the dialogue and Kyle and Sam working on constructing high fidelity visuals of screens that demonstrated features of the site. This was looking into matching, messaging, scheduling, booking space. Here is some sketches mapping the wireframe interaction towards booking and scheduling. I (Kyle) later developed these into their high fidelity visuals using the colours developed from the slides.

Updating the cost structure to extend past the first three months originally quoted to the whole first year of operation. I also managed to validate the cost for the website with sending away site map and details to little giant studio in Auckland. Hearing back from them they quoted our project at inbetween 60,000-100,000 to construct with user profiles and being editable with CMS( silverstripe).

Far to casual not properly communicating with the audience through relying on notes for presenting need to have someone else to change slides that is not the person speaking have only 2 people speaking more visuals competitors doesn't do much if your going toshow them would be far more beneficial to have a table comparing the features of your product against theirs free perimeters-time can you not do it from facebook? Where is the beneficial element that requires its operation off facebook? align your dialogue with your on screen narrative to create clear support of your media. Matching the argument with the narratives of the visuals talk about solution from first point How is this scalable?  Prototyping whole thing to gain grounding so time period is to short far better to quote it at a years cost over 3 months Not relying to much on band as first client. Also don't insult them by referring negatively to their style before your involvemen...

With the feedback from week 8 they mentioned the improvement of our competitors slide by playing more of a comparison against our competitors in what they do and what we do. This new slide hopefully demonstrates why lonotone works as the best choice for your jam.

From our presentation in week 8 I (kyle) decided to more accurately gain information into the contact details of our site by contacting a few different web agencies about the possibility of a quotation around our websites build. I luckily managed to hear back from little giants and send them a copy of our presentation as well as a site map outlining the information architecture of the site. Hearing back from them i managed to get an estimation that our current design would look at a construction cost of 60,000-100,000 for the user profile database, matching, messaging, scheduling and customizable CMS with an agency like silverstripe. The good news from this quotation is this would be considered a potential one off payment that would require no additional cost apart from hosting to operate wit.

With this week we had a return after the break. After the lecture conducted by Alex into the interesting world of patents and trademarks, we met and reflected on some of the feedback we received from our week 6 pitch. From our original slides its been decided that we'll add in some more information of validation we've gathered, competitors, mention towards features of premium and content creation after building a substantial audience in the website, profit from advertising music related content, sponsors and partners we're hoping to back us and finally the cost structure towards our operation cost which we'd ask from investors as support. For next week we have Kyle-creating slide for competitors, and cost structure to web and staff, site map Micky-advertising clients, development of the site over time in response to growing audience Jeremy-presentation speech, first client content creation slide Sam-Sponsors slides
