Website Conventions

Artist/band Website Conventions:


  • Easy navigation - mapped out so that it is easy to find material/information
  • Tabs and links to other pages or social media 
  • Social media links help the fans feel more in-touch with their artists - updates on Facebook or Twitter interest fans
  • Font and background that matches the theme of the website
  • Images for visual interest - related to the theme
  • Multi-media
  • Merchandise
  • Music videos
  • Asses to purchase CD or download songs online
  • Biography of band
  • Colour matches genre - bright = pop, dark = rock/alternative
  • Tour dates - where? when? how much?
  • Fan chat forum 
  • Competitions - keep fans entertained
  • News - updated often to keep the fans informed
  • Band name displayed clearly
  • Latest album details
  • Website matches the image of artist/band - e.g. a rapper's website would tend to be slick and stylish
I shall research more throughly, the conventions of a website by assessing several rock band's websites to see if there is anything I can learn for my website.
