This website has shown us a lot about what we need to include into our own website for our ancillary task. The website should have a clear layout and a simple way to explore the website without pressing too many buttons. This website has done so by having the button bar the same at the top of the website with their logo. This makes the website effective as their brand is the largest part of the website and is always there. The website also gives details of how fans can connect to Mashd N Kutcher or if they want to listen to their music. We will incorporate elements of this website onto our creation for the main ancillary task.
