Website research

I have looked at several English female artists with a simula image to our artist, to find out what features tiheir websites  have in common. So i can apply this to our website. I looked at Pixie Lott, Kate Nash, Lily Allen and Ellie Golding's websites.

Ellie Golding's website

Lily Allen's Website



Kate Nash's website



Pixie Lott's Website

When looking at the four different websites i found that they had quite allot of similarities.
they all included :

Blogs-So that the artist can contact a wide variety f fans , this makes the artist seem as though (s)he are normal , and also keeps fans updated on what the artist is doing.
News- Continuous updates on what the artist is doing and positive articles of the artist.
Shop- Personalised merchandise for fans to buy.
Tour Dates- so fans know when the artist s performing next (a good way of advertising their next tour)
Videos - To promote music and also gives the fans and market visual understanding of the song
Photo Gallery- Shows different images to the artist ( casual shots which can show what a different image to the airbrushed posy pictures)
 About (the artist)- Gives information about the artist ( usually abut their up bringing and how they became involed in the music industry) .
