Music Website Analysis [band]

For music website analysis, I have chosen to do Arctic Monkey's website as I already analysed their album artwork. So I know their background information and I researched their music and their overall style. The link for their website is:  Arctic Monkey's Official Website - Click here!

The Arctic Monkey's Main Page of their website.
Above you can see the main page of the Arctic Monkey's website. The website is really organised and kept really simple for the fans. It is using only two colours: black and white, which might reflect the simplicity of the group and how organised everything is kept. At the very top, you can see the main page menu which is really easy for the viewer to navigate. It is divided into main section, so the viewer does not have to look for something for such a long time, but can be just click away from it.
On the right side of the website we see a column called: GIGS. This is very useful thing for the fans and people that want to see the band, because they just go on their website and see the nearest shows. Where they are, when, the status of the availability and you can also buy them straight away from the website. It is very visible and you notice it straight away when you enter the website.
The Gigs column seen on the right hand side of the band's website.

The website is very rich in material like: photos/videos/music videos etc. When you click on the section photos, the page comes up when you can see all of the photos including those private from the tour. You can choose between the years and the places where they were doing their gigs. For the fan of the band this is just perfect, because not seeing them live he/she can be just a click away from them and watch them on the videos as well. You also get access to the Fan's Forum and share everything with you fellow fans and the band.

The last section of the menu is STORE. When you click on it it re-directs you to Arctic Monkey's Official Store. On the new page, you can buy their newest album just sitting in your room. This is amazing and the website is full of this nice features. It is so packed with everything that you can become the fan of the band just by reading/watching or looking at some of the material that has been added on to it. This is the kind of website me and my group are planning to create for our artist and his band.
