Before Hannah started to develop the website, we decided to research websites as a group so that we may agree on a style or path to go down before Hannah put in countless hours and effort for no reason.
Consequently, we researched Bishop Briggs (our track's original artist) and from there found similar artists whom's websites we could inspect and take inspiration from. In total, we found 10 websites to research and make notes on.
Barns Courtney's, Elliphant's, Lorde's and Charli XCX's websites were basic — the had their names, new albums, a link to their Spotify/iTunes, links to their various social media sites, occasionally tour dates, and sometimes free downloads. The websites were limited and revealed very little information about them for new fans to research. Moreover, the websites just weren't very interesting or entertaining. As such, these are not websites which we are inspired to replicate.
Alessia Cara's, Declan McKenna's, Sia's, Jack Garratt's, Jess Glynne's and Grimes' websites were also quite simplistic (denoting to us that this was perhaps a convention of the genre's websites), but more detailed than that of the previous listed websites. A few had landing pages for their latest albums, most had their latest music video on auto-play, they all had links to their social media/Spotify/iTunes, some of the bigger websites had a contents option, news and updates, a collection of all their music, a listing of their tour dates, a tab for all of their past videos, a biography, and for some, even a store as well. Consequently, these are the types of websites we are instead going to try and recreate as whilst simple and stylish, they provide lots of information, and are both interesting and entertaining as well.
