The Avril Lavigne website is similar to something we want to create for our band in regards to layout. The drop down menu's for all the sections are something in particular we would like to repilcate because we think it gives a nice simple and easy to navigate feel to the website.
Another feature of the website I like is the slideshow in the centre of the screen when you first go on to the website. It has a selection of slides showing the most up to date information and important information that Avril Lavigne fans need.
The final thing that jumps out to me as something which can be transferred over to my website is the feature that enables people to listen to Avril's newest album prior to purchasing it. I personally feel that this is something that can help promote an artist to certain types of people that wouldn't typically go out and buy an album by someone they don't like. It enables them to have the option to have a listen to the album see if they like it and then buy it.
2 Chainz:
This website is by hip/hop artist 2 Chainz, I decided to research a hip/hop website because our track has influences of hip/hop music. By looking into a few different genre's for websites it allows us to come up with a happy medium of the two genre's making a combination website. This website in particular takes it's main features such as background and logo from the artists name '2Chainz'.
The banner advertising the new album stands out to me because people are able to use it as a quick link and they will probably be drawn in to clicking it because of it's position on the page, instead of the fact that they went there willingly looking for it.
The main section of the website continues with the motif of chains with two mens chains hanging down the sides of the website effectively creating a border. Also similarly to Avril Lavigne's website there is a toolbar which allows the visitors of the website to listen to 2 Chainz's music, this enables his fans to not miss out on listening to him whilst using the website.
The 'Latest Headlines' column on the right hand side of the website particularly strikes me as something that is there to help the site visitors negotiate their way around the website. Something like this will be vital in the creation of our website as it saves time for the fans when they are looking for the latest updates of their favorite artists.
