Inspiring websites

I researched some websites that focus around the genre in which I am creating (prom). I found out that most of these websites are American as it is a big event over in that country that is beginning to leak over to England.The first website was 'Prom Girl'. This mainly focuses on the items in which you can buy for prom such as the dress, shoes and accessories. This allowed me to see 

the general layout of a website but also the types of thins that are included on the certain tabs. For me out of every website that I visited i found this the most useful as it included the most tabs such as in price accordance, colour, size and type. However on the bottom of the first page this website also had several paragraphs explaining the website and the dresses and other items in which it features. The colour scheme is consistent. The bright pink also helps highlights the target audience in which the website focuses on. From the subheadings to the shopping bag is pink. The font is clear to read and at a size which can be easily seen. The use of space makes everything spread out rather than being overcrowded or bare with nothing on the page.

These inspired me as it allowed me to see the generic conventions of a Prom website. This allowed me to establish which conventions I would like to ignore and those in which I would like to challenge. On the website above I feel the use of images is a convention in which I would like to challenge as I feel would be beneficial to my target audience.
