Pop Music Website Analysis

Gungor is a band that mixes folksy, melodic instruments with heartfelt lyrics about their beliefs.  They have been around for several years, garnering a very loyal, if small, following.  In my opinion, their website is very well put together and works well to show the style of music that they play.


 
Michael and Lisa Gungor
The front page is very basic and clean looking, with nothing more than the name of the band at the top in a simple flowing script and links to other areas of the site.  The background of the front page show the band's two (main) members and namesakes, Michael and Lisa Gungor.  The picture is faded and blurred, giving a very warm and welcoming feel to the site as a whole that matches the warm ambiance of their music.
The site is very organized, with everything in it's necessary spot.  A single bar with the titles of the sites sections sits on the front page and helps keep things neat and tidy looking.  For instance, the Facebook, Twitter, and other social site buttons linking to the bands accounts in the respective area are neatly packed away in the connect section of the site, rather than being sloppily arrayed on the first page as they are with some other bands.  The uncomplicated design of the website is the perfect companion to the musical simplicity of Gungor.
