Guest disco_epilepsy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i just bought a years worth of hosting and a domain from dreamhost for about $13AUD (which is a very, very good price in my opinion) i'm going to host my music on it once i get dreamweaver learnt and sorted, only i cannot think of a design for it! so, what do you guys think would be best for a music webpage? a simple site with nothing but text links? massive flash things? a CMS of some sort? i honestly can't decide/don't know so help me out here please the site is http://www.1kbmusic.net - at the moment it has some mp3s on it which you can listen to if you want but i'm not too worried about that (if this doesnt belong in EKT feel free to move it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest androne Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i would think relatively simple, but not plain text, i get bored with plain text sites too quickly, if theres something to look at or read while i listen to the music then id be more apt to stick around a bit longer, listen to some more tracks.

Guest mushroom Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You're the guy who made the p168 page, right? You know, the page that doesn't let you get past the splash page without Flash 8, which isn't available for Linux yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disco_epilepsy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 DONT use flash for a music site simple good like rephlex i'll probably do something like rephlex but with a few more pages - i don't really like how the rephlex site is set up, with almost everything on one page once i figure out how to use dreamweaver i'm sure some ideas will come to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffe Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 the task of adding all the entries would be alot easier and sortable in any way you need etc.. yeah probably, but by the time I entered all the information in it would be just the same as duplicating HTML files and entering the info that way I might look into it later this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the site was 100% flash I'd have no problem doing that. But I hate Flash.
