I decided to look at website from different genres so that I could get a wider idea of what goes on to a website.
From looking at these different website I can see that they have a few things in common. They all have the video for the latest single on the homepage, they have clear links to different pages including external links to their different official websites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. They all use their band font for the title of the website so that the user can become familiar with the brand of the band. They all have new on the front page so that fans can feel close to the band by finding out what is happening with them. On most of them there is an image of the band at the top allowing the audience to become familiar with the band. All of the websites are quite dark which shows a new trend which we will most probably us in our own website.
Even though all of the websites are quite dark the difference in layout, choice of fonts and pictures creates a completely different feeling to the website for example the Girls Aloud website is quite dark but looks very feminine because of the choice of pictures and layout where as the website for Bullet for my Valentine looks quite masculine because of the lack of pictures and the cramped layout.
On 3 of the websites the background is quite graphic which I think is a nice feature as it makes the website more interesting to the user.
