Website Feedback

We received some constructive feedback on our website as to what we can do to improve it and what people thought worked well with it. There was a mixed opinion as to the overall outcome of  what everyone thought of of the website. 
Our scores were:
  • 5
  • 7
  • 9
  • 8
  • 7
Positives: 
  • good information
  • news page (very good detail) + about page is good 
  • matches the digipak 
  • good colours
  • background links with the album with the galaxy and the colour scheme
  • the links at the top of the page look good and professional like the logo
  • pages themselves look good, shows the artists themes and how he is represented well
  • merchandise looks really professional and matches the theme throughout
  • the contact page looks really good with the pin on the record company 
  • there is a visible theme and the genre is apparent 
  • there are working links 
  • good layout on the front page and it's good that it points straight to the new album
  • I like the way it goes straight to instagram 
  • like the discount on the store 
  • map on the contact page is good/ clever and makes it look professional
  • website nearing completion, therefore looks professional
  • The background is effective with creating the image of iSO because the black and white look is replicated within all products which have realistic prices
  •  dark background is good as it settles in with the image for his music video as well and the genre he is following
  • countdown clock is good 
  • home page is simple yet effective
Improvements suggested: 
  • fire logo is too 'cartoony', which doesn't fit his serious image. Same image used for everything makes it look boring
  • colours are too dull
  • shopping basket colour doesn't fit the colour scheme
  • about page doesn't have enough content, too basic, add more information, set pictures out differently to make it more effective to look at 
  • merchandise is limited, need more with different pictures 
  • needs more links - twitter & facebook (add to bottom of each page to make it consistent and easily accessible to the audience), tour dates
  • There isn't much text
  • Only one photo of the artist used throughout the website
  • Quality of the 'iso' could be improved
  • Could the background move?
  • Contact us page is bland
  • Information shown could be more about the creation of the song and more detail about the artist rather than a few sentences that give us a slight idea but it is still unclear
