Sia Website
Sia is part of the same genre - electropop - as Halsey, so I thought that analysing a few websites from the same genre would be useful for the creation of our own website.
Sia's is very different to any other website I've looked at. It changes with the theme of her latest song, which because it's November, is Christmas related. Her pages include:
- Home (Sia)
- News
- Tour
- Music
- Store
- Sign up
Her home page is rather bold, much like the artist. It's green, red and white background is contrasted by the black writing. Her background is a gif of a model in a red, white and green outfit and bow. In fact all her backgrounds for each page are gifs of the same model wearing the same outfit yet doing different things. The menu is in the top left of the website, which is difficult to see; dark grey writing on a black background doesn't really stand out and it's hard to see where to go from the main page as it has nothing but the gif. The bottom left has her social media and a sign up link.
Her Sia page is just a link to a page that is purely a different gif. There's nothing on the page anywhere, it's just the gif in the centre.
The News page is similar to the other websites; mentioning her latest song releases and upcoming albums. It's very fan focused, as in only fans of her would really check the news site. There are no appearances listed or articles from magazines, just notifications on her music.
Her tour page is once again very similar to other artists'. With the date, time, location, city and ticket purchasing lay out on her page.
Sia's music page is similar to others; having the album cover and then links to iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play and Spotify just below it. However, she doesn't have the option to share the music or the name of the song/album anywhere on the page.
Her store page clearly changes alongside her site; currently Christmas themed in everything. Her merchandise is Christmas related, as are the bundles and anything else available to buy.
The sign up page is also very simple with only two fields to fill out. She uses the same font that is associated with her image as an artist throughout the site, especially noticeable on the sign up page.
