Vampire Weekend Website Homepage




Band name in top left corner - Shows people clearly what band website they are on/advertises the band.

Main Interactive Links to other areas of website - These are placed on snippets of the album artwork in circles. When the mouse is hovered over them, rings appear for effect to indicate to the viewer that there is a link, and to show you where your cursor is located.

There are more links to the side which take you to different websites such as where you can purchase official merchandise - This will gain the band more money if people click on the links as the other companies have probably paid to put there link there.

Links at the bottom - Displayed in a less fancy way (plain text). This could be for visitors of the website with a limited computer that does not allow them to view the more flashy links as most of them take you to the same place as the links above.

Mailing list - There is a text box where you can enter your email address in order to subscribe to the mailing list. This is so the bands automated service can update you on album releases, tour dates etc.

News at the bottom - This is where the band will display the most recent and important information so viewers can easily see it without searching through the rest of the website. In this case it states where there debut album can be purchased from.
