A website is a set of related pages that contain content like text, images, videos, and audio that is accessible over the internet through a URL. Websites allow people to get information, communicate, promote products and services, and engage in e-commerce. Effective artist websites include prominent logos, social media links, audio/video of their music, ways to purchase music, and current news to engage and inform fans. Color schemes and layouts should enhance the user experience without being distracting. Simplicity and easy navigation between pages is important.

This website is a great example of what should be included on a artist’s
website however I believe the colour scheme is very loud which
could take attention away of what is actually on the website. On the
other hand this vibrant colour scheme could refer back to the band
and the idea that there all about having fun and in an extravagant
way.
