Analysing and Researching Websites

Before creating an advert or website of my own I researched into artist and band's websites and how they are used to promote any products the bands/artist release. Whilst researching I analysed a few websites to investigate what features they use. Links can be found below of all analyses:

• Analysis of Ed Sheeran's website
• Analysis of Daughter's website
• Analysis of Bastille's website
• Analysis of Taylor Swifts's website

I found that the most common features of a band/artist website are as follow:

• Legal information in the footer
• A menu that links to additional pages
• Links to social media
• Advertisement for upcoming or just released albums
• Information on live events and performances
• Images
• Videos
• Links to album/song purchases

Less common features include:

• News bulletins
• Stream links
• Official mailing list subscription
• Language options
