Website Research: Franz Ferdinand


There is simple, and then there is this. There is so little going on here that the website does not really inspire you to look further into it. With everything accessed via the links on the left of the page there is nothing to attract the user on the homepage.

Images and Logo:
Uses the band's logo, this links with their other output and albums. Record label logo, we may need to think about including that ourselves. No other images.

Genre, colour and style:
Could be anything really, except that most people know Franz Ferdinand are Indie/Pop band. Colours link to their most recent album cover but in this setting look bland. Not a very communicative page.

New Technology:
Myspace link again and also an option to sign up for a mailing list.

Written Content:
Again very little, which we should take note of. Here however there is none aside from logo and links and that is probably too little. Nothing of itnerest.

Font and layout:
Like Editors' page these reference the band's latest album.

Target Audience:
Perhaps the simplistic, straight forward style partly suits Franz Ferdinand's audience. But as a more energetic, fun-sounding band this homepage just seems boring.
