Tony Marrese · Galactic Zoo

Website map — tonymarrese.co.uk

Structure, page purposes & a phased build plan. A working brief — Cooper builds from this; Tony's input welcome.

The job of the site

The website is the front door to the Galactic Zoo universe — it introduces Tony, houses the content, points everyone at the channels & podcast appearances, and captures audience (email) so we're not renting our reach from the platforms. Built so Nova can keep it fed without a developer.

Phase 1 — launch Phase 2 — grow Phase 3 — later
1HomePhase 1
The Galactic Zoo splash — who Tony is, the vibe, a hero, and a clear "where to follow / what to watch". First impression = the brand.
  • Hero + tagline ("Comedy for the spiritually awakened")
  • Latest clip / featured video
  • Follow buttons (all channels)
  • Email signup teaser
2Watch / ChannelsPhase 1
One place that points to everything — embedded latest YouTube, plus links out to TikTok, Instagram, Threads, X. The "pick your platform" page.
  • YouTube latest (embed)
  • Channel link grid
3About TonyPhase 1
The story — Hackney-born, Italian heritage, Channel 4 credits, NATY finalist, the improvising-raconteur identity, and what Galactic Zoo is.
4Contact / BookingPhase 1
One form, routed to BLB/Maggie — split by enquiry type so nothing gets lost.
  • Live booking · podcast booking · collab/brand · press
5Join the Zoo (newsletter)Phase 1
Email capture — the most important long-term asset. Direct-to-fan so a platform can't switch off our reach.
6The Zoo (content universe)Phase 2
The deep content library, browsable by lane.
  • Characters — PC Justin, Swabber & co.
  • Awakened — the spiritual / alternative lane
  • Archive — Channel 4 era, Kill TV, the classics
7Podcasts / AppearancesPhase 2
Showcases the discovery engine — every podcast appearance embedded, plus a "Book Tony for your podcast" CTA. Proof + a magnet for more bookings.
8Live / ShowsPhase 2
Upcoming dates + a live-booking CTA. Quiet now, but the slot's ready when the live side ramps.
9Shop / MerchPhase 3
Galactic Zoo merch once the brand's bedded in — a natural revenue line off an engaged audience.

Build notes (for Cooper)

Platform — fast static build on our stack (Cloudflare Pages), structured so Nova updates content without code. Lightweight CMS only if Tony wants self-serve editing.
Brand — applies the Galactic Zoo pack the moment the logo locks (cosmic palette, the badge, the type system).
Mobile-first — most of Tony's audience is on a phone; legibility standard throughout.
Integrations — YouTube embeds, social links, email capture (newsletter), booking form → Maggie/BLB inbox.
SEO / AI search — "Tony Marrese", "Galactic Zoo", "comedy for the spiritually awakened" as the anchors.
Landscape rule — legacy clips stay landscape (the vintage framing is the charm); never force-crop to vertical.
Decision needed: domain — confirm Tony owns tonymarrese.co.uk (his name = strongest for search & recognition). Option to also grab a Galactic Zoo domain and point it here. Separate lane: "More Oxygen" is NOT comedy — keep it off the Galactic Zoo site (own page or external link only).

Phasing — so we launch fast

Phase 1 (launch): Home · Watch/Channels · About · Contact · Join the Zoo — a sharp, complete first site the day the brand's ready. Phase 2 (grow): the content library, Podcasts page, Live. Phase 3: Shop. We don't wait for everything to go live with something strong.
