About Pages Research

Creating an 'About Us' page for the first time involved some research into the about pages of similar websites. I used the Sweetwater and Reverb websites as case studies. 


  • Sweetwater


Sweetwater (2023)

I found the About Us page in Sweetwater website fairly informative. I was impressed with the mild colour scheme palette used, and the aesthetically pleasing look of the images they used too.

The page also contained information on the mission, history and members of the organization as a whole.


  • Reverb

The Reverb About us page also contained information about the organization, missions, history, and prospects.

While not unappealing, the page without a picture of staff, or a description of the organization did not strike positively with me. I believe that the presence of pictures on the about page not only subtly encourages the reader to keep reading, but also creates an overall improved aesthetic view of the webpage.

Storyset (2020) My E-Commerce website will be selling Musical Instruments and materials, including courses, and books.  The business model for my E-Commerce website is both  B2C and B2B.

These would make up my target market. The business name for my E-Commerce website is  Clef Musicals .  My tagline / slogan is :  "...w here sound meets soul". I researched the following competitor E-Commerce websites: https://www.intasound-music.co.uk/  https://www.techinabox.co.uk/  https://jordanguitars.co.uk/  https://just-music.edan.io/  https://iconmusicuk.com/ All of the aforementioned websites offer a unique range of products, however, lacking by way of product affordability, user-friendly design, and variety of products. These will be the points I will work on, and incorporate into my webs

The more visibility a website has on search engines, the more likely it is that brand captures business."  LaFleur, G. (2022) He also goes further to state that "website visibility is commonly measured by the placement -- or ranking -- of the site on search engine results pages (SERPs). And companies always vie for the first page, where they are most likely to garner the most attention."  LaFleur, G. (2022) LaFleur explains that "search engines use bots to crawl all website pages, downloading and storing that information into a collection known as an index. This index is like a library and when someone searches for something in it, the search engine a
