Website Analysis and Inspiration

Arcade Fire - Reflector Website

-We've chosen to analyse Arcade Fire's website as it has themes that we would like to use and could transpose onto our own website when we create it. The simple layout of the website has a barebones feel that we feel would be ideally suited to our band as it focuses on the music rather than selling for image or fame. the website has a continuous font present on all pages and we feel this would be effective for our website as on the bands current page they have a font theme that we could carry over when we create our site. the Arcade Fire website is flawed however as it does not tell anything about the band, it simply has an embedded version of the video, some brief info and then all the ways in which the album can be purchased. I feel that on our website we should include more about the band themselves so that a relationship can be created with the audience as i feel that the arcade fire website gives a cold feel that we do not want to give off on our website.

Conclusion
In conclusion i feel that this task gave us a greater understanding of what creates a good website as when we first viewed arcade fires website we thought t was exactly how we wanted ours to look but then upon further investigation we realised that the website did not provoke any involvement with the band and therefore wasn't what we wanted to a full extent. The website we analysed gave us a good foundation for what we will be creating but outlined also well outlined the additions that we could make to make our website better and more effective.
