Website peer feedback

What Went Well - a good amount of pages with a good amount of information. Keeping with the conventions of what Nicholas Alexander is about

Even Better If - the background was changed to something more professional. Also, the pictures on the tour page aren't of Nicholas Alexander, bit confusing?!

Nicholas Alexander: A good website throughout, the pages have a lot of information and include
what fans wish to know. All social media links work well and take you to the appropriate page so that fans can go directly to the social media account and know it’s the official page. This website would be even better if in the gallery page the images looked a bit more professional... Maybe do a professional photo shoot with the star dressed up in a professional setting? Also, the image on the home page of 'Nicholas and his manager' the green doesn't look very appealing. Maybe use the green screen effect on premier.

· Links to social media are cool

· Quite boring

· No info about the band

Nicholas Alexander: What Went Well - A good amount of pages with a good amount of information. Keeping with the conventions of what Nicholas Alexander is about. Good colour scheme and conventions throughout.

Even Better If - The text is a bit unprofessional? Change wording to improve.

Nicholas Alexander: What Went Well - The colour scheme and look fits the artist's genre. I love the pictures of Nick used and his bio is very in-depth.

Even Better If - Grammatical errors need to be fixed on the homepage. Pictures of other artists should be removed from the 'Tour Dates' page.

NA - The website as a whole is very good and well thought out however I feel that a little more work could have been taken into the photographs. In my opinion I feel that they should retake the photo shoot pictures and get someone who is able to take photos. Unfortunately they are all out of focus and are not clear in the slightest therefor this takes away from the professionalism of the page. I like how they have conducted interviews and looked into the more business side of the music industry including booking and things to do with his manager. They do not seem to have any merchandise at all on the site. I feel that this would be a good idea for them because it will make their site more appealing to fans that want to buy their merchandise to wear at their concert.

What Went Well: Has a smooth flow, really informative and easy to navigate around the site, Matches genre.

Even Better If: The pictures need to be more professional looking, maybe get more interesting pictures. Some of them are too grainy. I guess you can't change this because it's the album cover but the background hurts my eyes. Need to keep the font the same.

Score: 7/10

What Went Well: Flows nicely, nice use of colour, pages are well filled out with text and information. Nice text used as well.

Even Better If: On the 'Tour Dates' page the text is all different fonts, needs to keep to the house style! The images on the website need finishing rather than just using the green screen background. Loads of grammatical mistakes as-well! Picture on the bio page is really fuzzy. The little welcome message was removed.

The group have made a great start on the website but some things still need to be added such as more professional photos and some of the text needs to be looked over as there are mistakes and also the font tends to change. This would make the website look sloppy but this can all be changed easily just by looking over the website and checking. I think that there is a lot of good content and will end up being a very good website.

What went well - the background of the homepage has lovely, striking colours. The homepage includes current news about Nicholas. The 'first noticed' video on the 'about' page is a very good and clever idea.

 Even better if - there are some grammar errors that could be fixed on the 'about' page. On the 'tour' page there are pictures of other artists which need to be deleted.

What went well: I really enjoy this website. It has a good neutral background and I like the way they have put their interviews on there. They haven’t put to many pictures onto the website which is good otherwise you get overloaded with things. I also like the way that they have a picture on there with their manager because this is an important part of the group which isn’t always mentioned in the fame.

Even better If: The only thing that I would change is the where in the background you cannot see the full name of the artist Nicholas Alexander because it is cut off from the screen.

The website gives a clear description as to whom Nicholas Alexander is and what he represents, we see a Bio of who he is and this allows new fans to relate to the artist. We are also linked to sites where we can listen to more of the artist, iTunes sound cloud and YouTube for example. There is no merchandise on the website which means a lack of investment in the website from fans outside the purchase of tickets. Also for a new artist the tour seems very limited and non-available to the majority of the country.

What I like about this website is the layout that they have used. The background I think looks great and the home page of the website is a real strength, the album front cover and also Nicholas Alexander's interview with BBC Radio 1. The areas that could be improved are some of the photos in the gallery, they don't seem to be the best quality, and maybe there could be a bit more information about the artist. However they have good links to twitter, Instagram etc., so overall I think the website is looking good
