As Oasis have now split up, on their website homepage they have up to date pictures and clips from YouTube and Vevo advertising their new cd: time flies-1994-2009 which shows their image: Indie. They, like Beyonce have a clothing line and show this on the front page of their website. However, it seems to be mainly t-shits which represents the typical indie style: Jeans and band t-shirts. Also, when you click on this you can buy the t-shirts straight away, off their official website which makes it easier for fans to access, making it more likely that the clothes will sell. There is also a gallery of the pictures of Oasis from their live performances and photo shoots over the years which also shows fans their style and personal image. Unlike Beyonce's website, there isn't a song playing straight away when the homepage opens, however there is a link showing lots of their videos which you can watch/listen to while searching through the site. There is also a chance to be a member of the Oasis site as there is a login box on the left hand side. I believe this is a strength as it gives the fans the chance to be more in tune with the artist, especially now they've split up. This website attracts Oasis' target audience by being showing their music, live gig opportunities; which is what they specialise in, and awards won. The only adverstisements are for Oasis' t-shirts which you can buy through their website. Most of their fans are only interested in the artist themselves, not the clothes they wear: An indie's reputation specifies on the music that is written and performed, therefore attending music festivals, live gigs etc.
