2. I N A N AV E R AG E W E B S I T E YO U
WILL FIND:
Tabs for the obvious pages which are:
A Blog
Gallery
Store
Video
A place for your audience to sign up
Tour dates
Access to any connecting social networking sites
Some artists I’ve researched into are Ben Howard, Florence and the machines, Lily Allen,
Eliza Doolittle and KT Tunstall and The Lumineers.
3. H O M E PAG E S :
Most home pages have photos
on the artist, to promote them
and to further develop this we
will take pictures on our artist
for our website.
4. • TABS
Your tabs will link
with your artists style.
5. • A BLOG
In the blog artist usually
promote their tour and
write entries of their
journey and artists they’ve
been listening to recently.
6. • GALLERY
Gallery’s can include
photos from shows to
just pictures from a
photo-shoot.
7. •STORE
Each artist has a store for
their fan base to get items
that let others know what
a proud fan they are. Items
are usually in the style of
the artist.
8. •SIGN UP
Signing up allows fans
to be up to date with
recent news on the
artist or informed
personally about any
upcoming appearances.
9. • S O C I A L N E T WO R K I N G
AC C E S S
The social network is a big part of the majority
of the audiences lives, therefore having a
section where they can easily access all linking
social networking makes life easier.
10. • VIDEO
It is wise to have a page
where you can allow your
audience to watch videos,
whether its on your music
video or it’s a daily vlog.
11. • TOUR DATES
This is a great way to
inform your audience
and promote dates on
any tours.
12. M U S I C V I D E O S O N F RO N T
PAG E
In my research I have found that it is a
great idea to put your music video on the
home page, as it’s a good way to promote it
and instantly grab the audiences attention.
13. INTERACTIVE!
Having interactive
games and more,
sends a positive
vibe of the artist
and gets the
audience more
involved with the
site.
14. A LYRICS TAB
A lyrics tab is
optional,
however I do
feel it’s better
for your
audience to get
the lyrics off of
your site than
others.
15. INSPIRATION!
These are some inspirational pictures from the websites I’ve researched
into. The first one is the home page of Eliza Doolittle and is very creative
and makes her stand out uniquely as an artist. The second picture is of
Lily Allen’s tab of goodies, this gave me the idea of calling the store
something else like goodies just like the next picture as KT Tunstall calls
her blog journal.
16. INSPIRATION!
On Florence and the Machine’s website,
they were creative by having the various
pictures of the lead singer.
17. INSPIRATION!
Along with the moving images, the
background would change colours, going with
the colour of the image.
18. LILY ALLEN’S WEBSITE
Despite looking at many great website,
I did stumble across a not relatively
bad but messy site. Which was a
warning to me and informed me on a
good and bad site. On Lily Allen’s site
tabs wouldn’t work and the homepage
was out of place.
