Analyzing the conventions of homepages


As a task my group have looked at different bands and their websites to see what shall differ or match when we create ours. I have linked the other blogs to the bands.
Charlotte is looking at Arctic Monkeys
Jamie is looking at Blur
Kristina is looking at Bob Marley

I have looked at Muse and their website, It is obviously a rock band. I can see this from the theme of dark colours, block writing and it is laid out like a blog.
There are several features on the home page such as 'News' 'TourDates' 'Images' and 'Shop' I think these tabs have been selected and chosen as they are the most important. They take you to other pages and these 'ingredients' or features can usually promote the band. They are the sections which will make money for the band.




The use of having the tour dates and the new albums as the biggest feature on the home page is important. It lets the audiences see when the latest album or single is going to be released, it might even include a photograph from the music videos which will give the viewer a feel for the song. The tour dates are important because it will encourage people to buy and secure tickets early, before they all sell out.

There is a feature at the bottom of the homepage which shows the stats of the page and also the bands following and how popular they are.

There is another section which shows comments from the public and tweets by the band. This is important to keep their star image and show the world who they are.

You can also sign in or sign up on the home page to become a member and receive news and updates front the band through your email. This is important to keep everyone connected and receive the latest news first.
