Website: Tour Page


The tour page is again a way of making the website seem official and authentic. None of the links work and tickets are not available to buy, but it does give the impression that we are a real touring band and we play at several different locations. The colour scheme is again the same and the buttons glow red when hovered over.

Website: Music Page


The music page is a simple page that has a link to our music video where you can watch it straight on the website. We took this idea from Calvin Harris's website as we agreed that it allows for fans who may not know about us to easily see our most recent music video. There is also two links to the left hand side. One isn't currently showing up but it is a link to get the song on spotify, but ultimately we could not get the song on spotify so the link is for show. And secondly we have a link to iTunes. We wanted to do this to again increase the authenticity of the website and the band to make it appear as though we are a real band. The font and background is consistent throughout all pages.

Website: Album Page



We wanted to make our website really creative and authentic. We found a feature which lets us add an album on website which also acts as the store as you can buy and share the album. It also has a working music player with our song on there but we haven't included other song titles from the album. There is a picture of our band on the front for the deluxe edition album and all the information about the album is there.

Website: About Page


Here is the about page for our band's website, it is quite simplistic which fits with the genre, but this also challenges the genre as quite a lot of house music artists do not have an about page on their website. We wanted to have an about page that introduces us as a band and gives a small bit of background about us as it allows us to connect with our fans. It gives fans the opportunity to know a little more about us, and give the impression that we are disclosing personal information or information fans otherwise wouldn't have known. This is more typical of the pop genre but we wanted to include this because we feel that many it is also a typical convention of a band. Each member has their own story and personality which should be shared.

There is also a small paragraph describing the aim of the band, what its all about, and how it was formed.

Website: Home Page


Here we have our homepage. We utilised the same space background throughout the entire website as we wanted to stay consistent. From our research we found that a lot of house music artists use a similar colour scheme of black, white and red in their websites. So we chose to use those colours in ours. We have a white navigation bar on top which has our bands logo on the top left and social media links underneath. All social media links work and will take you to the corresponding social media website. Our navigation buttons are in the top right, each work efficiently and are clearly visible. Finally we wanted to have a very social, interactive feel to our website so we decided to use photos from our bands shoot on the homepage, similar to the Skrillex site researched, as it gives fans the opportunity to see what we get up to and have a behind the scenes feel, allowing fans to connect with us and stay up to date.


Website: Intro Page


For our homepage we wanted to create a sense of infinity and endlessness, so we decided to use space as our background as it works with the genre of our band which is electro/house. It is also representative of our band as believe our music to be innovative and out of this world. We wanted to have an intro page before the home page to make it a little more interactive for viewers, and a lot more visual, to show that a lot of effort has been put into this website. We also chose to have the name of our band front and centre so that everyone knows it is our website and we are promoting our name.
