WEBSITE CONVENTIONS

Here is a list of the conventions we expect to see on a website.  They typically don't have many different pages as it makes it more user-friendly and easy to navigate.  The website represents the artist massively and strengthens their brand.  Billie Eilish's website only has 5 top links and a very plain layout.  This is very user-friendly and the dark theme strengthens her brand.  

• Artist name/logo
• Background image
• Use of frames
