Website Review

Oasis Website

Oasis' website follows the conventions expected of the genre, however differs from many, as the band are not now together. As the band are not together, the website is not updated as frequently as one of those that focuses on a band that are currently together however due to reissues and anniversaries there is still content to be put up for the fans. The band not being together increases a focus on their history, the websites involves pictures and and information on previous gigs. The website follows conventions by including an on-line shops, forums, videos, press videos, news etc. The big pictures of this website that stand out is something that I will try to replicate in my website.

Website Review

The background of this website is the same of the Strokes' latest album in order to promote the album. The Stokes' logo is clear and shown in several places on the website, it is easily visible to let people know who the website belongs to. The layout of the website is simple and follows the conventions of a music website by including features such as the bands next events, photos of the band, news on the band, the opportunity to buy albums, tickets, singles, records and merchandise. As well as offering a forum for the fans to discuss the band, their albums, concerts and express their views.

The website lays the photos out clearly and the hyperlinks are clearly show, making the website easy to navigate through. The bright colours of the album stand out to attract the attention of the audience. The album is easily purchasable and stands out which is market tool to make it easy for people to buy the album.
