Final Thoughts

These websites use a combination of different elements effectively. They all a combination of images, color, type, interactive elements and music to create an unique experience for the viewer. These types of websites will attract and hold the viewers attention for longer. This is a point you may want to give careful consideration to. If you want your website to work for you, you also have to work for it. This is evident in the examples shown.
