How is your chosen site structed?
NME.com is in affect your average magazine website. We see the latest music reviews, headlines and stories displayed in which anyone can view and read.
However as this is a website, it can hold an awful lot more information and opportunities the normal weekly printed magazine does. We see the site expanding into other areas, of not just the internet, but also mass media.
This may make the site sound more complicated with all these additional features, however the way in which it has been structed makes it as easy to use as, a microwave, or whatever.
The homepage is basically split into two areas, the top of the page and the left hand column running the entire length.
With headlines leading to band/artist news down the left side of the page, users can find the very latest news within seconds of opening the front page, whereas running along the top of the home page are links to the other features the site has to offer.
This includes the other francise NME has to offer these days, such as the forums were users can talk about many different topics the site has prepared for them, NME radio, NME TV, the store and many other useful things readers are interested in.
However like a magazine, the site is littered with advertisments. They are still in keeping with the genre of the site, but still prove to be a distraction to the user.
