 The home page of the Palms website takes you to a simple yet sophisticated short slideshow of various different images of the indie band. The first image that appears is the official logo of the band. It is only fitting to have the bands official logo as the first image to appear so that people can immediately recognise their logo and understand who's music artist website they're visiting.









The next page that the website visitor can go to is the about page. The about page 'does what it says on the tin' and tells you about the band, how and where they began and more. The 'About' page also contains professional critics opinions of the band.

You can then visit the music and videos page where you will find the bands official music video for their single 'Luna' and you can preview listen to some of their songs on their new album 'O M E N S'.

If anyone wishes to see the 5-man-band live, you can click the 'Tour' page which takes you to a page with their U.K. tour dates on. It also takes you to the official tour dates video which they have posted on their social media. The page also contains a Reading and Leeds festival poster. As the band are performing on the last day of the festival (bottom of the poster right hand side you can see their name) it was only fitting that they included tickets for the festival also.

Fans/website visitors can find images of the band members on the 'Gallery' page. The images have all been photoshopped on ps6. Lighting effects such as using gels were used to help improve the quality of the photos along with giving the desired effect.

 The 'Social Media' page brings you to a page full of the bands different social media. The bands twitter and latest tweets appear on the screen along with their single Luna on Spotify and if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will find the bands official Instagram where they post fun pictures and videos.

A devoted fan can purchase different items from the store page. People can purchase items such as jumpers, a hat, a phone case and the bands official album 'O M E N S'.

People can check out what they have added to their cart by clicking on the cart symbol/image next to the menu bar at the top of the page. 

If fans wish to get regular updates about the band or even if their favourite merchandise item has some back into stock they can sign up to the website by clicking on the 'Sign Up' page and filling out their details.

Overall I believe I achieved and managed to mirror a typical indie band music website. I still managed to put my own spin and style on the website which is still kept within all the conventions of the indie band music website that I understood whilst doing my website research. I gave the band a cool style that would be like by many indie-pop fans. This website would be a successful, functioning and popular website if it was made for a real band.

The whole website has a blue/pink/purple and peach colour scheme, just like the digipak. I wanted all my products to flow and fit together, which it now does. The website has all the typical conventions of a music website and has a particular style that is extremely suiting to my mixed gender band and their genre style.
