Summary • The website I’m looking at is for the band Company of Thieves, based in Chicago, IL. • In their current website it is setup pretty complicated I think just looking at it visually. It has a lot of information about the band. Firstly, where upcoming tour shows are held and when they take place. There is also a music player so that you can hear some of the songs directly on the website. There is a page with links to buy their albums on all of the online music stores like Amazon. Another web page contains music videos that they created for a few of their songs linked from YouTube, featuring hits Death of Communication, Pressure, and Oscar Wilde. Photos of the band are on separate page, featuring both official photographs as well as photos taken by fans attending their concerts. A bio page tells the story of how the band first started and their motivations for continuing their music as written by the band. There is a store link to purchase merchandise such as the albums, various t-shirts, posters, and other apparel. There is also a community page that contains a bulletin board for fans to communicate with each other as well as the band itself. • I think a lot of it is overly complicated and can be simplified to be used better and easier.
