Well, well, well...

Looks as if the time has come for me to have a website so I have tonight secured "SidewalkBob.com" thru IX Web Hosting and will have some help from a kid in building the site...

Other than the basics, like links, performance schedule, guest book, music clips and some pics anyone have any other ideas on what to put in the thing???

Will there be a clickable "Well Well Well" page?

I suggest you visit mine and see what a 'simple looking and easy to read' site looks like - it has been complimented on, even by the blind.




I'm still thinking whether that's really how it was supposed to come out....

Hi Bobert. I think it's great when musicians put up lyrics and chords for their original songs - or even lyrics and chords to traditional songs that people may have first heard from you. Your fans want to sound like you, so make it easy for them...

Good luck, Marion

HOW TO BUILD A MUSIC WEBSITE THAT SELLS

Check it out. Some good tips, like:

Why put links to take people away from your site when you want them to stay there, read all about you, buy your CD, hire you for gigs, etc. It might come free with CD Baby or Host Baby.

Just received today - a White Paper on website design.

Do Users Seek a Colorful Website or a Usable Website ?

It's an 18 page pitch (.pdf, 1,080 KB, 18 pages) that plays back like a Power Point show. Tells you all about what's important, and looks to me like it violates every point it tries to make; but it's kinda cute if you wanna waste a few minutes.

Of course it means to solicit business, but there's no hard sell.

Have a chuckle.

The blue clicky thing here is handy, if you're going to have people posting.
