Further development on website design

In my opinion this is my best design that I got from this photograph I took near the location of my music video.
This is a simple home page for my website that I think reflects my music genre ( indie-rock ), re-layed the image three times and blended them together to create a fuzzy effect which I think makes it more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore I can see this website design reflecting the audiences expectations.
I have used the same text from the last blog update this is because I still think it is a conventional text and works well with the stylistics. My stylistics from here will be used for my next promotional item ( poster ).

This is the inside to the homepage.
This homepage is better than I imagined, when I took the image of the ivy on brick work, my mind came up with the idea of natural images; a tree. The tree branches out to all the different pages within the website. I like this idea because that's how I see websites branching off in different directions but have all come from the same place.

Websites

Im now going to move on to a websites for my band to display my video as a campaign. I'm thinking along the lines of an alternative indie style website with pictures and small details that make it stand out from the basic website. Im hoping to included many images from my shoots and other taken whilst getting ready for the shoot. I am debating on tying in picture of me and my actress hanging out and other photographs of us both to give a personal touch to the website, similar to bands such as Noah & the Whale or M83.

These websites I believe would allow the audience to relate to the band as people rather than pop stars or rock stars. I am really happy with all my progress even though its been over two months since my last post, but that was to work on the plans before placing on the web.

Here is my first Idea of what I want my website to possibly look like.

Above are my possible texts for the website. I am liking No.2 more than the others because I believe the text matches the stylistics of the bands genre and also I find it aesthetically pleasing. I think if I was going to use No.2 I would have to move the text around a bit more and use more headings and images to bring the website page to life.
