"Give us a sec..." is the greeting you first see on the page as the percentage of the page loading increases. The page is very simple, a black background and white rectangle in the centre that is positioned to look like it has just been place there haphazardly. There's a drawing that appears over the top of the stopwatch like object in a hand drawn style. The top of the page has links to contact the band, the ES forum, ES Merch, ES on YouTube and ES on MySpace.
"Give us a sec..." is the greeting you first see on the page as the percentage of the page loading increases. The page is very simple, a black background and white rectangle in the centre that is positioned to look like it has just been place there haphazardly. There's a drawing that appears over the top of the stopwatch like object in a hand drawn style. The top of the page has links to contact the band, the ES forum, ES Merch, ES on YouTube and ES on MySpace.
There are five further links surrounding the stopwatch which produce fall-down feature. These links are: "go home" (updates), "you nosey git" (studio blog), "you look parched" (forum), "you want the latest" (mailing list) and "you miss the bastards?" (tour dates). These are all written in an informal style using language that will appeal to fans. It all seems to be semi-home-made which is a theme that a lot of their image portrays (including MySpace blog posts/bulletins) and merch.
The page is free of clutter and is easy to navigate around. It's a page for the fans rather than to impress people. the band's sense of humour is shown through the small piece of text on the page:
This is something that fans will recognise as ES are from St Albans which is referred to in the address and will know that the album is being recorded in a house rather than a big recording studio (as the band have turned down all major record deals to date, instead creating their own label).
