At the very top of the website is the masthead, which links to the website links below as the same shade of red has been used to create synergy. The first link is "news and politics" which implies that the main focus of the magazine is not fashion and is aimed at smart young people who care about news and politics. The links "fashion" and "beauty" are expected as Teen Vogue is a fashion magazine, however it is clear straight away that there is a wide range of features on the website which will appeal to a wider audience.
There is also an option to like Teen Vogue on Facebook crosses media platforms and widens audience's interaction with the magazine.
The first main articles you see on the Teen Vogue website are not fashion related, however are focused more on gossip. Each heading is categorised under a news type, for example "entertainment" or "TV." The fonts and colours used match the masthead to create synergy throughout the page. Target age group has clearly been taken into consideration as the articles are aimed at the younger generation, as there are articles about celebrities popular with teenagers and TV shows aimed at teens. 
The first actual fashion heading on the website is a few articles down and again focuses on a popular celebrity. Also, the "yellow thigh high boots" the article is about are not shown in the picture, leading the audience to click on the link them and find about more.
Once clicked on the link, the text is fairly informal, for example "she has pretty much solidified the..." This also supports the fact that teen vogue is aimed at a younger generation.
On the side of the text are social media icons. It is important that in this day and age that these are included as social medias such as Facebook and Twitter are big platforms to promote the website on. The icons are easy to locate and use for the audience, therefore it is more likely that users will share the news story.
Teen Vogue includes cultural contexts on their website as a Muslim model is promoted and her story is shared in an article. The whole concept is called "I am America" and portrays equality which also can educate teens and the younger generation.
