schmoron13 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm designing my company website (doing audio and graphics (plug...ahem ) so I've been looking at what people have, and I thought it be cool if we posted our favorite sites created by forum members. Of course, this isn't relegated to Keyboard Corner, but I figured I'd post it with y'all. Explaining WHY we like the sites is helpfull My vote for the "coolest" (self evident?) site (and of course I'm partial as a jazz pianist) is: Superbobus I'm also partial to: DJDM His site is informative, and manages to balance fun with professional. The option of broadband/dialup is great and in the "broadband" version, I love the little details-animated gifs that act almost like banners. anyone else?

schmoron13 Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 thanks for the quick replies, but I mainly want this to be an appreciation page, rather than a survey. Bleen, great feel to your site. I like the greyscale with just a touch of colors...very imaginative! Dave, what's the over/under on his presence? I'm saying 7 posts... but I have to say that his site is one of the most, if not the most corporate-looking of us KC'ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: I sense impending Weasel spam...Nah. Web sites are like pieces of blank paper, or opening a new file in your DAW app. You can go in any one of an infinite number of directions, and the propriety of your direction is not defined by "cool", but by your goals of the site. My sites aren't designed to show off my web prowess (the little that I have), but I do like to think they're effective at selling products and/or services. But it's a blast for me to design little Flash projects and so on. I guess it's like anything: when you do it for a living, it loses the voodoo. But I still enjoy a cool site. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle ggurl Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I know my websites pretty much suck, at least graphically, so I'm not chiming in here to direct attention to them (I ain't no designer, painfully obvious indeed ). I only want to offer a humble designing tip from an end user's standpoint: Many of us are still on 56K modems. I don't have patience for flash-only sites. More often than not, if I click on a link to a site, and it's flash-enabled with no option to bypass the animation's tortuously slow load (56K, remember), I'll simply leave. I'm not alone in this tendency; I've seen others do it too. This is my humble plea to Web designers of the world, please be kind to us less technologically advanced!

sign Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 You can see our website which has a course about audio engineering for home studio guys (in Dutch) and more that 30 studio tips. You can hear a number of sound fragments and add something to the forums. Within a couple of months the site is going to be replaced by a new website, because the studio has also been rebuild and redecorated. The alchemy of the masters moving molecules of air, we capture by moving particles of iron, so that the poetry of the ancients will echo into the future.

Mike Dawson Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Posted by Jeff Da Weasel: I guess it's like anything: when you do it for a living, it loses the voodoo. That's a great quote. Is it a Weasel original? When I first started posting on this forum about a year ago, I noticed a guy named StrongBad posting with a link to the Homestar Runner site. I'm not sure who the guy is or if he's associated with the site, but the site is pretty popular with high school and college kids in search of high-brow humour. *Howard Zinn for President* **Pilsner Urquell for President of Beers!** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I think Strongbad is a character from HSR, I read something about that name/HSR on a forum earlier. It's pretty popular but I never bought into the hype, and I don't see myself doing so anytime soon. I just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great quote. Is it a Weasel original?I didn't say it quoting anyone in particular, but nothing -- I'm sorry, very little -- is actually original. So, probably not. In case anyone was wondering about the spam that was anticipated, I'd just finished and gone live with the new GC Pro site: www.gcpro.com I do feel a little remorse about a decision I made: this site has a lot of graphics and a pretty heavy drop-down menu navigation. I'm afraid that especially the index page may load pretty slow on dial-up. But not nearly as slow as Flash only, so it could be a lot worse. Plus, we determined that at this point, the majority of folks visiting that site will have broadband of some type (in which case it loads in about two seconds). - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the site does everything it needs to, too. I'm a big prononent of putting up the necessary info in an easily navigable form (but then, I'm a writer as one of my trades) -- that's what usability is to me -- and the rest is really gravy. By now everyone's seen the fancy schmancy stuff web can do, but it's not necessary nor even beneficial to the "culture" of many sites. Thanks for sharing!
