Website inspiration

So in order to create a suitable website for the band, we first had a look at the conventions and house style of different websites to look at the pattern and styles that each follow. Obviously each website is original and suits the style of the band and the music genre they fit into. The website above is for the original Delphic, with their hit doubt which our group have created the music video for.

The website is basic and has a dominate white colour throughout it uses a innovative style with the font and graphics used throughout this is really common with the websites for indie electro bands, they try to create the most different and 'individual' look to both the band and of course everything associated with it, including the website. Involved in the website as you can see with

Collectively as a group we looked a variety of websites for different bands to get some ideas and inspiration for creating one for Delphic. We obviously looked at the current Delphic site which you can see above, the colours are simplistic and there is a clear theme for each bands site unique to each group. This has helped us to realise that the website m

ust follow the basic themes we want to create, and also must be accessible.

The variation of the use of colour in this website for the indie band Editors clearly shows a difference in the house styling of the band. The main colour is black making the white colour text and the main strip of colour at the top to stand out. The main feature which you can see in the screen shot is the diary entries and live dates. This is vital for fans to keep updated with the schedule of the band, and their appearances and live performances. For Delphic in comparison to Editors it is even more important a calender is a main feature of the website as a new band they need their fans to show as much support at their shows and allow their following to grow.

The interactivity of the website is a major part to get the fan and followers involved with social networking sites such a twitter and facebook, it is vital the band post and twitter their activities getting the maximum followers boosting record sales. This is a main purpose of the website to enhance the band persona and the interactivity level allows the public to be part of the band growth as a whole thus increasing record sales.

Again the prodigy website the colours, fonts images and styling all tie in the imagery the band follow and the genre their music falls into. In this screen shot you can see a video is featured, this player allows the the viewer to watch the video interactively of the new prodigy video. This is a clever concept and keeps the viewer interested and they are almost guaranteed to watch the video, so straight away they are interested. This a brilliant way of grabbing the audience and this will definitely be a feature if it possible on the Delphic website.
