Analysis of a Website - Jack

As part of the digipak we are going to create a website for our band. In preparation for doing this I have been looking at other websites for other similar bands and having been looking at how they structure there websites and also what makes them so accessible and appealing.

This the front page of You Me At Six's website. Whom are a band with a similar market strategy to us. As you can see there home page isn't over crowded with items so users won't be confused when they visit there site for the first time. They also have a nice layout where the links are all listed on the left hand side and the main item is presented in the middle. There website is also fully interactive as you can see on the bottom it has several different links to other popular social networking sites and music sites. I would like to include this feature in our website as I think our market audience would find this interesting.   

This is a screenshot of there live gigs page where they display all there coming live shows. This gives all fans a chance to see where they are playing and is a great feature because it another way of showing fans where they are playing in a simple way. We would like to add a feature like this in our website. 

When you click on there store link you get through to this site. Which is there official store site and this is a site which is simple and easy to use. By having a store site this enables the band to sell there merchandise online which is a key feature. We are going to use this feature on our site as it connects with the fans more and enables us to sell more merchandise.
