WEBSITE: Links

On the website we have created a bunch of links so it is easy to navigate through the website. Through research we found out that the most common amount of links to different pages on the website is 6 and so we created 6 links as well. We research artists websites that are popular now and have been to narrow it down to how many links, for example Charlie Puth has 6 links that direct you through the blog. Then there is an older band such as AC/DC that has 8 links. The links we have are BMTH (Home Page), Merch (Shop), Tour (Upcoming tours), Gallery, The Band (Info on band members), and News (new videos we upload and other info). AC/DC also had a link for Fan Mail but we decided not to use that as we didn't want to have to many links and we prioritised the other links.


We decided to go for the word Merch instead of Merchandise or Shop because Merch is more appropriate for our audience. Through our research we found most websites have Merch as it is slang and therefore fits more with our age demographic which is young adults. "Bullet For My Valentine" is one example of a band the used Merch instead of Merchandise or Store.We also have links above the page links, these are links to different sites such as social media. The links are to Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and Spotify. We will add a Facebook link later as we couldn't create the link on the school system.
Instead of having a Home button we went for BMTH instead. The reason for this is because this was used in other websites of this genre such as Bullet For My Valentine.

  1. For points like this, hyperlink your own post/s: 'Through research we found out that the most common amount of links'
    'We decided to go for the work Merch instead of Merchandise or Shop because Merch is more appropriate for our audience.' Try to FULLY establish the point (EAA); you've not specifically explained why/how (or stated the audience)
