Diamond Clark wesbite.

Olivia and I were coming up with similar ideas, so we thought to combine them and create a website together. I did the connect, news and events (which I will be adding digipak to when finished), merchandise page. Olivia did Diamond Clark entrance, about and tour - which she has had problems completing due to her laptop but she should have it done by Monday 18th March. The other page Home and Gallery we did together. Note: even though it doesn't look like her, the girl in the background on the front page is an edited image of Josie Megan Crandley who starred in our music video.

Analysis of websites - examples embedded (2)

Clear layout for the store section because it needs to be easy to navigate so they know exactly where to find the item(s) they want, get the details about them such as colour, price and size.

I think it's good Ellie Goulding has included minor details such as a lyric page because when people search for the lyrics they don't always find websites that have the accurate lyrics. It's also good to have a open layout of tracks so fans know all the songs Ellie has recorded without overlooking any.

This is the entrance to Katie Melua's official website which is simple but I still like it as it gives her fans an insight to what her website offers without giving too much away.

The news events on her page are listed in a basic way with detail and images on the right-hand side. I think it's important not to have a page like news events crowded so that the fans can clearly see what is coming up but also to have enough information presented that is vital for the fans to know which in this case there is such as address, telephone, time, price etc.

Analysis of websites.

Eye tracking is a useful technique to take into consideration for web design. It can show what particular areas of a page are catching a user’s attention and areas that are being ignored. Eye tracking also shows how a user searches for information.
