I maintain a few client sites on a freelance basis, and work on a site as part of the day job. None of those are relevant to music, so I won't bore you with them (and believe me, they are boring). I keep meaning to do a site for our weekly session, but time hasn't allowed so far. I run a community site, but I just use a hosted blog platform for the sake of time saving. When I do proper sites I work in hand-coded XHTML and CSS. I'm not a fan of Dreamweaver or similar as I hate smartarse software that thinks it knows better than I do what code I want in my page. I avoid non-essential crap that bloats file sizes and stretches download times. Nothing worse than waiting a minute for a Flash site to load only to find that it wasn't worth the wasted time. My main job is Internet marketing - mainly natural search optimisation - so if any of you have problems getting your music/session sites into Google, give me a shout... for free advice, that is - I'm not touting for business!
