Kasabian's Website

 This is the band Kasabian website. Their website is actually different now, so this must have been an older version. I am in Intro to Web Page Design and right now I have to design 3 basic websites. One of the websites I have to design is a band website. I found out yesterday that websites have a certain layout/design and this website looked closely related to the layout that I have to follow. My website has to have a header, a navigation (preferably up top), the body area, and a footer. This website put their band name and a picture in the header. I think the picture is too busy to be put in the header, but it probably fits the band. They put their navigation up top and they have 10 tabs. Their white type is a little hard to read against their busy background. It also looks like people can choose different languages by clicking on their country's flag icon. I am supposed to design my website by having 2 columns (body left and body right) and it looks like this website has 3 columns. I like that they have their news, audio/video, networks, images, and music on the home page. I don't like how their information is put in big white boxes. I don't think it flows well with the rest of the page. I think the information is jumping out too much. I am also supposed to have some sort of background in my websites. I learned that backgrounds are supposed to be a darker color since dark colors/black goes backwards. Kasabian's website does have a darker background, but their background is a picture and I think it is way too busy. It distracts me from the rest of the page. I don't really like this website because I think that it doesn't have continuity, the background is too busy, and information jumps off the page too much. It does follow the basic web design layout, but I don't think this website is well-designed. I think this website needs some work.
