AC/DC Website Homepage


Very interactive - There is sound playing, a video playing through the letters AC/DC and whenever you move the cursor a fly follows it across the screen. The fly refers to some of the band previous music. They had an album and a track called "Fly on the Wall". The whole website is set out in a way that relates to the bands style. There are fliers, cigarette buts, bottle caps scattered around indicating that the band are messy, smoke and drink.

Band name - Located in the middle of the page unlike other websites where it's typically located in the top left corner. Shows viewers clearly what band website they are visiting.

Main Links - These are located at the top of the page for easy access much like other websites. They are however slanted and placed on torn paper to again comply with the bands style. These link to different sections of the website and when the mouse is hovered they highlight a different colour for effect.

Other links - There are two links at the bottom of the page placed on scrap paper which move slightly when the mouse is hovered. These are perhaps more important than the normal links as they are bigger and contain information of a specific thing such as tour dates.

What's New - This is where the band can quickly display information on the homepage. It's placed on a screwed up bit of paper and states the most recent news. Each entry has its own link if you want to know more about that entry.

Fan club - There are links in the top right corner where if you are a member, can login and if not, can join. On the join link there are again references to the bands music.

There is also a button there where you can turn the sound of the website off if it is unwanted. At the very bottom of the page there are some small links to less important things. Basically, it’s links to the small print.
