Analysing the Hollyoaks Website

Analysing the Hollyoaks Website

Sense of unisex. Both colours mixing together.
Pink depicting females. Males depicting blue.
The mix introduces both sexes mixing together and suggests that this soap will contain both genders.

The structure is extremely simple, its clear and organised but the bold colours and the news page feeds the readers important spoilers or exciting storylines coming up this enables it to be viewed as more exciting and generally more people are encouraged to view it and read the possible gossip updates or view the pictures and see what's happening on later in the week.

Hollyoaks, I believe it a captivating soap opera that questions different types of areas of realities and lets the audiences freely discuss through games, quotes or polls. The interest of the audience is the number 1 issue which is extremely important as it determines what the audiences want to see or how some storylines should be solved in their opinion by specific characters so for instance, the current storyline of Zoe being blamed for Sarahs Death.

There is always an important photo in the middle when you first see the page. It's there to influence the audiences and inform them of the current most important storyline happening at the time.

Photos, Catch-ups enable audiences to get involved, the quizzes and games also ensure that audiences participate in such questionnaires and they will be able to interact and keep up with their knowledge of the characters, famous quotes and storylines.

We need to ensure that we include as much detail into the page as possible and use extremely bold and eye-catching material so perhaps highlighting the title and layout and making it stand out for being more different. We can update it with current storylines and the most important storyline being the on the front page so it can be addressed as the main issue.
