Website analysis

I chose to analyse this website by "We The Kings" as they too have 4 band members and also have music similar to that of The Summer Set. On iTunes, We The Kings and The Summer Set's music was linked together at the bottom in the section saying "listeners also brought" which suggests their similarity.

On this website we see the same background design as what appears to be in the background of their CD (left). We also see their red logo of their name, which too appears on the CD. There is a large bright picture clearly showing the 4 members at the top. They are wearing sunglasses which reflects the idea of 'brightness' in the website. This too could perhaps reflect their music. Underneath this, keeping with the red colour theme contrasting against the blue, there is a bar that has all the headings of the pages of the website. The home page, as we can see consist's of different elements that we are more likely to put under some other pages rather than the home page. For example the 'fun' video that is showing. We, however, will be putting our behind the scenes fun video under our 'video's' page where our music video will go too.

On the left they show a picture of their CD and then give many links, for different countries, to buy the album. This is widening their market so they've given a lot of people an easy access to buying their music. We too will put a direct link from our website to where our audience can buy their music (E.g- iTunes). This is likely to go under the music page on our website. The photos that we can see to the right of the home page, we too, will be likely to put under our 'gallery' page.

The reasons for us making these differences are because we wanted to have a main big picture on the home page to straight away have our audience linked with the band to create a reorganisation of the members, perhaps at a later date. This is conventional, (Goodwin 6) as us being the record label, want our band to be given as much of a chance as possible in the industry. Another reason will simply be because we wont have enough information or updates to give fans about the band straight on the home page as they are new and obviously don't have as many updates as bigger bands. If we were to put a lot of information on the home page we wouldn't have anything under the other pages!
