Bombay Bicycle Club's official website has many useful features that we could include in ours. There is a large image of the band with the name and logo in the corner of the picture, and a toolbar above this picture with different pages available to go on such as home, news, gallery, video, etc. There is an advert in the top right corner for the new single available to download and buy now, and next to this is a track player with a couple of songs available to listen to. Latest news is displayed in a blog style below the main picture, and advertises free things for the viewer to find online. The purpose of this website is to inform and persuade, both targeted towards people that are already fans, and those that haven't heard of the band before. There are a lot of adverts for things related to the band, and a track player for new audience to listen to their songs.
The second example of a website is for Biffy Clyro, and my first impression of this website is that it is cluttered. There are lots of news posts, with a store available to click on and again a track player with a sample of the latest song in it. The band's name is clear and bold at the top of the page, a toolbar below that has options such as news, shows, gallery and a store, and a picture of the lead singer on the far right side. CD's available to buy are also shown on the right hand side, and the website has a kind of blog format again. The purpose of this website again seems to be persuasive, but has a lot more information clumped together, and seems to be forcing the reader into liking the band and wanting to find out more about them. This is something I will have to consider when making my page.
The third example of a webpage is for Arctic Monkeys, and this is a very good comparison to make as they are in the same genre as Scarlet Harlots, and I have researched both their music video and digipaks for other tasks which gave us key information and hints on our own project. I like this example because it is very clean and clear, with not too much going on. The links to shop, news, photos, etc are at the top of the page and a huge picture in the middle shows what the band looks like. There is not much more to analyse as these are the basics that are featured in the page, however I like this because it wouldn't be too difficult to make and other examples with lots of posts on look untidy and too busy. The purpose of this webpage is to inform.
