Webpage ideas



All these homepages are taken from pop artists webpages and all share conventions. The first conventions these all share are images of the artist on the homepage, for instance Beyonce's homepage is a close up of Beyonce and dominates the main screen, on Taylor Swift's homepage the images of Taylor change from pictures of her performing and then changes to images of the album cover and other version images. However on Justin Bieber's homepage he has an advertisement of his new album as the main image, Olly Murs also has an advertisement for his new album as his main image. Where as Carly Rae Jepsen and Katy Perry have advertisements of their new singles as the main image. All these artists homepages are about them and therefore the images reflect that very well.



Another convention all these webpages have are that they all have links for other options, all of the webpages have a 'store' option so that fans can go buy other merchandise and all have a 'videos' link meaning that the artists music videos or other videos are available to all. All the links have an option called 'tour' were fans are directed to a site were tickets can be bought or are taken to a site were they can keep up to date with the latest tour information and can see videos or photos from the tour. On Justin Bieber's webpage there is a link to 'chat' where fans can chat to each other around the world making it very universal and making sure fans can connect and talk about the latest information.




























Another convention that these webpages have are options to share the links of these sites on social networking sites. All these sites give you the options to share the videos on your Facebook page or Twitter account. The social networking links mean that fans can share things with a wider audience meaning the artists work is more recognised but it also means free marketing for the artist as people can do this for free and it can be done of a mass scale.

Another feature of tghese webpages is that most of them have a link to iTunes were a single or album can be bought. On Justin Bieber's webpage there is flash attracting the audience to the iTunes link.On Olly Murs webpage they are 2 different links to iTunes, one been for the deluxe edition of the album and one for the standard copy of the album, this gives fans the choice between both and makes it easy to understand.
