Reseach and Planning - Website Anaylsis

(click the picture to enlarge) The first website i have decided to anaylis is the website for the band 'biffy clyro'.
The background is plain black with a picture of the lead singer at the side , at the top of the page are the band name 'biffy clyro' in bold white capitals as shown below.

The use of a big bold font helps make it stand out and will catch the eye of whoever is on the website , the use of the colour white as the font is also good as it stands out against the dark black background.

Underneath the title there are little links that will take you to the different parts of the website. Examples of some of the links are 'shows' , 'music' , 'store' and 'gallery'. These links make it easier for you to navagate around to website and get to parts of the website quicker and easier.

On the main home page there is a video box where you can watch videos by Biffy Clyro , there is also an options to add your own comments on the video. I think the use of a video box makes the website more interactive and its more interesting than just having plain text and pictures. There is also a little music player which automatically plays when you go onto the website , you also have the option of changing the song. This once again adds an interactive element to the website.

Also on the website are links to the social networking sites which the band have such as facebook , twitter , bebo and myspace. This is there so that fans of the band can keep up to date with whatever the band is doing. There is also a section down the left hand side which shows all the upcoming shows that the band are playing.

Overall the website has many features that will help advertise the band as a whole , the website is very interactive and will give you all the information you need about the band.
