Band Websites

Girls Aloud

http://www.girlsaloud.co.uk/site.php

The girls aloud website is really informative giving the fans loads of information about songs and what the band is up to. On the home page there is a MS picture of the band and a video message of their most current album and their tour. There are articles about their tour and how it went, as well as info about the 'year out' that they're taking and Cheryl's solo career. There isn't a colour scheme as such but the overall style is simple, grey with the flash of colour being their outfits. You can easily tell their genre is pop from the outfits they wear and the 'fun' theme of the website.

The links at the top to other pages read: Home, The Girls, gallery, diary, GA style, chat, music and videos, GA Club, shop, mobile, GA Games, sign up. If you sign up to the GA club you're gven exclusive access to images and other things.

Duffy

Her website is very plain and sophisticated looking with one simple MCU image of her in white contrasting on a black background. The black shows she is aiming at an older audience which fits with her old-school jazzy songs. Not only is it really stylised its really informative giving all gig dates, news; which includes website updates and anything that Duffy has been up to.

There is also a forum where fans can have discussions about her latest songs and what fans think. There is institutional info at the bottom which tells us she is on the universal label, as well as rough trade. There is an audio player at the top of every page so you can listen to her music, with a different song being played on every page.

Mika

The website goes with his flamboyant personality. It's very bright and purple with a oclourful graphic at the top. The graphic is like a theme park or like out of space. The blue arch at the top stands out and draws you in toall the links hich give you extra info about Mika. you can spin it arount to see all the links which makes the website seem more fun and interactive. It kind of reminds me of a crazy pinball machine. There is a link to his facebook and twitter to make the fans feel connected.
