Starting my website

In this video I will be starting my Halsey website. I have not used WIX before so this was my first go.

Website Analysis e.g. 8

Bullet For My Valentine 

This website has 5 top links with is a great amount to have. The website does not have a gallery and nothing special about it. It has US, UK, German and French pages of their merchandise. They have provided a very poor branding marketing. We can see the name of the band on the left from the home button. They also have a small amount of social accounts featured on the website. They only have Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Website Analysis

iamhalsey.com

Halseys official website page. 

 On the top right you can see hyperlinked social media logos; Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Google+, Instagram, YouTube, followed up by her online shop and iTunes, Google play, Spotify and Soundcloud.

On the menu bar we can see a link to her bio, her music videos, songs, merchandise, tour and mailing list.

First thing we get to see as we enter her website is her album cover with her name on it. We then have to scroll down to see other information. Followed by pictures from her Snapchat, Tumblr, Instagram,etc. including some annotations. 

Background

Her website background is plain black color apart from the image from her album on the top in the beginning. 

In her Bio page is only has 

Record Label

On the bottom of her website page we can see her record company in a white, large font. Which makes it stand out more that all the menu bars and other labels on the page.

Merchandise (tbc)

Here I have looked at two artists Justin Bieber and Halsey as well as a band One Direction. All those artists have a separate website where all the online shopping can be included. Bellow are some example of merchandising of those artists.

• CD (Every artists owns one and sells them online)
• T-shirts 

• Clothing/baby clothing (baby clothing is usually targeted towards parents which means that the band or the artist would target adults rather than teenagers and kids)
• online games
• jewellery 

This One Directions' official merchandising page. As you may see here this is a One Direction bracelet worth 18.49 euros. 

They have even mentioned that this bracelet is 100% Official Merchandise. This was made to attract One Direction fans.
