By looking at three examples of music websites, NME, ROCKSOUND and MOJO I have come across the common features needed for the website to be appealing and successful. Such as extra things included that cant be in the magazine like more music reviews, Lyrics, Videos and links to artists websites or new music videos. I think it is very important that these extra things be included as there would no point in the website as it would be more or less be the exact same as the magazine.
However, if I was actually going to start to create a website for my music magazine, I think I would charge for people to look at certain things on the website. Because if the website has everything the magazine has as well as extra features and it’s free then there wouldn’t really be any need to buy the magazine so it wouldn’t sell. I think a subscription service would be a good thing for a music website, I would charge at least £6 a month to have the magazine posted to your house as well as instant access to the extra features on the website with a login and access code.
I would use the same house style on the website as the magazine that week, so it’s obvious they’re linked. By looking at the three different music websites I would say I prefer the NME one the most, the layout stands out but is also simple at the same time and it’s easy to get access everything. On the other hand, none of the three websites have a subscription access like I would do.
