What Not To Do on Your Web Site.

Merlin Mann has posted an excellent critique of problems with band and venue web sites at 43 Folders."People are visiting your site because they want to learn more about bands and music—not to have a guided tour of your designer/brother-in-law’s Photoshop brush collection. Don’t be cute with the design, section naming, or navigation. Don’t make your visitors solve a Rubik’s cube to pull up your lyrics page. Tip: Let the music be the star of the show and provide fast access to what your visitors really came for: 1) mp3s/downloads, 2) lyrics/discography, 3) show dates, 4) contact info, 5) where can I buy this (preferably pointers to buying online for immediate download)."
Much if this applies if even if your site is do-it-yourself affair and you've never heard of flash.
