Guest disco_epilepsy Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) 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) Edited January 17, 2006 by disco_epilepsy Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/2844-i-just-made-a-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest androne Posted January 17, 2006 Report 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 Report 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?
