Website analysis - Hamfatter

Hamfatter, many people would not be familiar with this band. However, this band to me is special, as I know the Lead Singer/Song Writer Eoin personally, as he was my piano teacher when I was in prep school. They stood infront of the entrepreneurs on the BBC2 show Dragon's Den. They asked the Dragons to help them publish their band, help them create their first album to sell, and to give them more contacts within the music industry. Before appearing on the Dragons Den their single 'Sziget' achieved number 13 in the UK indie chats and 54 in the UK singles charts.


Ok onto the website. The Website is clear and very easy to use. The main colours throughout the website are Brown and Reds. The title of the band is bold and stands out at the top of the front page (and continues onto every page on the website). The Menu is very clear, with white writing on brown block across the page, this is the opposite colours to the of the title of the band, as the title is brown on a white block background. The Menu options are: Gigs, News, Press, Gallery, Blog, Shop, Videos, Contact and Biog. The back ground image of the front page is of a close up of Eoin playing the guitar. I love this idea of using an image of band member playing instrument as its simple and isnt repetitive like other websites of the image of the band..

At the bottom of every page on the website appears 3 things, as shown below in the image. These are: sending email adress to them to recieve a hamfatter mailing list, hamfatter radio - where it plays their songs constantly (good idea) and finally advertising the bands music - hamfatter on myspace.

On the videos page on the website the videos include many things. These include two music videos that the band publish including 'the girl I love' and 'Do something stupid tonight'. Also included are some acoustic performances, and out takes from the video filming. I think that these would be good for our own website, to do outtakes from filming.
