This is the homepage for the website of the UK indie band Foals. The website does not have a lot on the homepage like some other bands, but this is still a nice and welcoming page. As soon as you open the site, the background loads up with a screen spilt in two with different pictures each side. These pictures change every second showing member of the band in artistic shots, or other pieces of modern art photography. This is good as it makes the webpage livelier without stepping out of their typical genre of music which is melodic indie. The name of the band is clearly stated in the middle in a large font so the viewer knows what site they are on. As soon as the webpage loads, a slow piece of melodic guitar plays in the background. This is off one of Foal’s songs and it is clam which makes the viewer feel relaxed. The song is on repeat and lasts about a minute so the user can leave the homepage on if they want to hear it again. At the top of the page are all the links to the other pages on their site. These are home, music, live, gallery, forum, music shop, merch store, and newsletter and member login. The home link brings the user back to the main page. The music page allows them to listen to songs by the band so they can get a taste of what they are like, or if they are a fan listen to their songs. The ‘live’ section is where al their tour dates are listed. The gallery shows a collection of images of the band playing live and of them in photo shoots. The forum allows fans of the band to chat to each other and ask questions. The music shop allows people to buy their music, where as merch shop allows them to buy their merchandise. The newsletter allows fans to get up to date news from the band and the members login allows people to access more exclusive things from the band such as songs and videos.
These are all typical of a band website as it provides all the news and relative features to the viewer that is interested in their music.
