Kings of Leon Website Analysis

This image above sows you the offical Kings of Leon website. This website is laid out so there is a picture of the whole band at the top of the page and that is the first thing you are able to see, to the right of that there is music play that allows you to play the song, there is also a link after that where you are able to purchase the song , on that screen there is a menu of the choice of song you would like to buy if not both of them. This then gives you the choice of either buying just the one item or both of them.



Just below the image there is a bar with different links that you can press that will have different information about the band, some of the links will contain different information about the band like latest articles and events and gigs that the bands are playing soon in the future. Under some of the bars another drop down menu comes down from that and you are allowed a choice of what you want to look at in that area, e.g. if you go under the “Events” bar a drop down menu with two options, one saying “Tour” and the other saying “appearances”. This then gives the user a different choice of what they can look at and makes the website easier to navigate around.

Down the main part of the screen there are different images and articles made which then promotes the Band, also they include it on their website to then show of the latest articles made about them.



To the right of that it says “latest Uploads” which allows the users to upload the latest images of the band playing; most of the images uploaded are from the band playing at live events.

And to the left hand side of the page you can see the section where it says “Tour Dates” this allows the user to quickly look at the latest tour dates easily instead of having to go through different links through the page.


I then scrolled down the page slightly and found this, it says what shows in Europe have been announced, and then is gives you all the information about what time it is, and what day its on, it also tells you when the tickets are on sale and where at, but also it tells you there’s a 48 Hour presale, where you are able to purchase tickets before anyone else.

I think that this website overall is a good website as it includes information about the band, the latest articles written about the band and tour dates etc, I think this is helpful for the user as they will be able to keep up to date with what it happen with the Kings of Leon and find out the latest information about them. I also think the buying and listening to the music on the website is very helpful because it lets the user listen to the music before they are able to purchase it at the highest quality. I also think that the store is very important to have on a website like this as it sells inetesting items like t-shirts and clothing items that every Kings of Leon fan wants to own.

Overall, I think this website is very easy to use and contain a lot of recent and relative information, it also has the extra features that some websites don’t include, so I think this website is very good and I would like Aidan and mine to be similar so the user finds it easy to navigate around the website.
