Website Research: The Temper Trap


For some reason there is a huge blank space at the left of The Temper Trap's website, which continues for the length of the page. This could simply be a technical fault but it is certainly not something we should do ourselves. However, this is the first website we have research that includes some photos of the band themselves (not counting live performances).

Images and Logo:
Band's logo used at the top of the page. Band iconography. This clearly promotes the band and their relaxed image.

Genre, colour and style:
Like all the others we have reserached the style is very simple here, with a blank background and some photos and links on top of that. Unlike the others though, the predominant colour here is white rather than black/dark. So the website has a lighter, more informal feel to it, as do the band.

New Technology:
Like the others there are links here to the band's blog, social network sites, youtube and store (some of these are further down the page than the screen grab covers).

Written content:
Headlines are used to attract the suer to links for news stories and other content, these are often supported by appropriate pictures as well. Straight forward, informal written style.

Font and Layout:
Standard, easy to read font. Layout is very simple, everything's just in a line going down the page with latest news at the top. This seems kind of lazy and unimaginative, but does work.

Target Audience:
Informal style and colours. Nothing complicated or heavyweight going on. Straight to the point. Mirrors the band's image, as shown in photos on the site.
