Music artist/band websites consist of their name as the main title, at the top of the page, with sub-headings to other important pages on the website (news, tour dates, shop). The colour scheme of the website usually matches their latest releases, for example, on the Mumford & Sons website, the colour scheme and style is the same as their newest album cover, Wilder Mind. The typography also follows the same style as the album cover does.
A music website also include images of the artist/band and an about section which gives the audience a deeper look into their group and lives. Some may also have social media integrated into their website, to allow live tweets and posts to be show on the website. Usually all websites have normal links to social media websites, and even YouTube, Vimeo and Spotify pages. This allows fans to get quick and easy access to their music.
Run The Jewels are a hip-hop group/duo. Their website adheres to a lot of the typical conventions because it has their name at the top and features the style and artwork of their newest album, Meow The Jewels. The difference of this website is that the menu is a drop down bar which is different from normal websites.
Foo Fighters are an alternative rock band and their website also follows the conventions of a music website. For example, their name and logo is at the top of the page, with the menu to the side of it. It also features social media links. However, their website layout is similar to a news feed like on Twitter or Facebook, and it shows off new artwork, tour dates and clothing.
