Website Reviews

This is me evaluating the other groups websites this gives them a chance to improve their website and therefore allow them to achieve a higher mark. If we are all doing assessments of each others work then we may find floors in our website that we can adjust. Hopefully I can help someone to highlight a weakness of their work that they can then correct.

The Grace Starr website looks very professional, we are shown different things the artist is doing such as tour dates, red carpet appearances and interviews. People interested in the artist want to know and read these sort of things so it is important to include the on the website for easy access for the audience. We are also able to purchase thing from the website both merchandise and album download. The Merchandise is not very appealing and i would not be encouracged to buy anything from it. 

The website gives a clear description as to whom Nicholas Alexander is and what he represents, we see a Bio of who he is and this allows new fans to relate to the artist. We are also linked to sites where we can listen to more of the artist, itunes soundcloud and youtube for example. There is no merchandise on the website which means a lack of investment in the website from fans outside the purchase of tickets. Also for a new artist the tour seems very limited and non available to the majority of the country.

The idea of the countdown is quite good it give the audience something to look forward and to and be excited about. The tour venues are related to the 02, mostly which they have stated the band is linked with which shows good continuity. The Grammar does not make sense on the home page, there is a close of bracket but no open. Also there is a link to home at the top that does not go to anything. 


We are shown the twitter account of the artist which allows us to relate to the artist straight away we can follow the link and discover him and this will allow further artist promotion. Contact us and Meet Cosmo link to nothing which is false advertising.

We have an interview with all the members of the band which allows us to relate to each member personally and individually. This is important in this type of band as it breaks up he performers meaning they are not merged into one they also talk about playing as a support act which is a clever idea showing they have been scouted and have had a taste of what true success is like. The website however is quite hard to read the white font merges in with the background, so it is pointless having it if we can't even read it. 


The website shows us who the alleyways are with a paragraph about the band, they also have a large gallery and it is each to listen to their song fast in my car. However it states that they are releasing a 6 track EP but have only listed 5 songs which is quite confusing.

The website is really good it has nice and accessible merchandise, a large gallery of photos with different outfits to show lot of photos and different locations. We are also clearly linked to both a facebook and twitter website. The only realy problem is the lack of detail on the homepage of the website there is no artist desciption or quotes regarding the artist they could include either of these to improve the website.
