This is the official website for Sum 41. As can be seen, there are a lot of things on the home page which all lead off onto other things. The main colour scheme for the site seems to be black with blue and red text which fits into their style of punk music.
The site is laid out in a 3 column style, with the main navigation going down the left of the page, information links on the right side and news and videos straight down the centre. This creates a nice neat layout that makes it rather easy to find what you are looking for.
At the top of the page is a photo of the band playing at a very busy gig. The photo is an action shot as you can see the members are mid jump and part way through a song. This gives an example of what their gigs are like. This is helped by the numerous videos embedded in the middle column which show off the bands abilities. Underneath the photo is a music player which contains a number of Sum 41 hits. Users can pause the music and skip the track and the design is very clean and simple. This further shows users what the band are like as the music automatically plays when the page is loaded.
The left column containing the main navigation is well laid out and contains all of the general links to other pages of the site. The main links are: Home, News, Blog, Tour, Videos, Photos, Discography, Q&A, Mobile, Extras, Community and Store. These categories contain all possible thinks that a user may want, so if a user wants to find out when a gig is, they click on tours, or if they want to know some facts about the band they can go on Q&A.
Below the navigation area is a community area in which the users can visit the social websites for the band, such as facebook, myspace and twitter. This area also shows the latest fans to sign up to the site.
The right column contains the closest tour dates making it easy for people to find out when and when Sum 41 are playing. It also contains a link to the store that contains a picture of a fan in a Sum 41 T Shirt.
The central column contains a link to latest Sum 41 videos and the latest news is also shown here. At the top of the column is a blog area where a few blog posts are displayed showing what the band are up to..
