The pictures above are screen grabs of four alternative/indie bands websites, Placebo, Bloc Party, Strokes and Chew Lips. From looking at these screen grabs you can see that all the websites are similarly designed. Like the CD covers, the design is simplistic and sophisticated, the background colours are all dark, with pale writing for a bold eye catching contrast. The content of the homepage is very basic, with either one main photograph and links to other pages, or small pictures of current albums and singles, and touring details. The links are text rather than buttons, keeping with the simplicity of the designs. The main links are at the top of the page in a horizontal line to the 'Tour' page, 'Photos', 'Videos' and 'Band Bio'.
