In this post, I will show the next stage of my Website research. This research will be based around the content that can be find on existing artists web pages. These pages will be based around the same genre that Milburn are classed in "Indie Rock". Example of pages that usually are present are home pages and contact pages for example.
Home
The most used page on a website is the Home page. The home page is usually the first page that appears to the user once they have clicked on the link to the website. A Home page that i have looked at is on Jake Buggs Website who also creates Indie Rock Music. His Home page looks fairly simple but there is actually lots of content when the user looks closer. The first major content that stands out on his page is the social networking links that can be seen. They are contained in little circles with there notable logos that the audience should recognise. Examples of these social networking sites are Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. This is a very common convention that artists use in the present day. It allows fans to interact with each over about there artist, they could even interact Jake Bugg himself vie Twitter. Having links to YouTube is also smart as this promotes Jake Buggs music, as fans can view many of his music videos if the click on the YouTube link.
Other content that is used in the home page is news. Here the user can scroll down and find all the latest information such as upcoming Gigs, new albums, new music videos and so on. This is useful as the user does not necessary have to scroll through the other pages on the site. On his home page, we can also see a banner at the top, this banner gives the user information on his newest album titles "Shangri La" saying is is available to purchase now. If the user clicks on the link it takes them to iTunes where they can purchase the album. This is useful as the artist can make money as well as promote his work at the same time. The banner is actually on evrypage and changes to many different types of advertisement related to Jake Bugg.
