website research




jim lockey and the solomen sun

The website for Jim Lockey and the Solemn Sun has a very clinical, clean appearance due the the use of neutral colours, this clinical attitude can also be portrayed in the banner, which can be viewed add to the professional feel on the site. The site also allows easy access to social media profiles and key information about the band such as tour dates.   

frank turner

Similar to jlss , Frank turner's website has a very simple clean appearance with the colour scheme taken from his latest album "Tape Deck Heart". Similar to that of Jlss the site  allows easy access to Frank's social media profiles and key information about the Artist such as tour dates. also the website has a directly link to the site where merchandise of the artist is sold.  


Foo Fighters
Unlike the other pervious two website I  studied their is no photo on the band on the homepage for the foo fighters this could be due to the fact Foo Fighters have a a larger following the FT and Jlss and perhaps don't have to market themselves as much. however one criticism is that the site feels outdate, it missing things such as link to media , obviously it has a link to he twitter account for the band but this seems to be the only social media, also a lot the links in the banners leads to empty webpages.  



Sum 41
Similar to the website for Foo Fighters the homepage doesn't include a image of the band again this could be to do with the notoriety of the band, meaning there is less empathise on marketing the band apart for that is has everything you would expected links to social media and merchandise, one criticism I would have is that the white writing on the pale background is not aesthetically pleasing or practical,  




Green Day


Green day's website is more what I expected of websites for a  pop-punk artist it's use of vibrant colours is more of what I expected from our research, I mean in contrast to the other pop-punk bands in this post Sum-41,The Offsprings,New Found Glory,Simple plan and AAR. Also the site doesn't have many links to social media making it atypical of the other websites in two ways.   




Other websites we look at
