Analysis of Vampire Weekend's website by me.

1. Vampire Weekend
Website Analysis
Rian Eades

2. Upon entering the website this is the
first thing that you see. You can
clearly see the band name.

3. The
background
image of the
band website
is a floral
design which is
commonly
associated
with indie
bands and
artists.
Colour scheme. Apart from the vibrant colours of the
flower in the background, the only other colours used
are black and white. I have found that this is a popular
colour choice for indie bands.
Just below the title the band
advertise the release of their
newest album and where you can
buy it, ideal for fans of their music.

4. Although unclear, having the menu bar at the bottom of the
web page is a clever tactic as viewers will have to scroll past
everything on the homepage to get to it and will therefore
see the bands newest music videos and albums etc.
The menu bar for this website I feel is very
unclear as it is right at the bottom of the
webpage, so many viewers may not know
that there is any more web pages.

5. It is important for a band to have a news page on their website as this allows
their fans to find out important information about the band. The news page
contains things such as release dates, tour dates, their newest music videos and
in general just things that keep fans up to date on what the band is up to.

6. The band includes a contact page which is a nice feature because as
well as companies looking to hire the band, there is a band email
address which fans can send emails to, this is a way of engaging with
the fans so that the fans feel like they are being appreciated.

7. I will be looking to incorporate aspects of this website in my own as
things such as consistency give the professional look I am going for.
One thing which is nice to see on a website is consistency.
Throughout every page, the band has used a consistent house style.
This means that they have continued to use the same recurring
things on their website such as the floral background, use of black
and white, and also they have used the same font throughout the
website, which gives of a professional vibe.
