I really like the Crimson Vera site. Great band site! Simple look (easy on the eyes), and informative. My favorite Bio is Minor *smiles*.
I also like that there's a comment area for pictures. Not alot of band sites have this feature available. However, when viewing pictures, will it show a selection of thumbnails, or will Fans need to go through each individual picture to get to one they might be looking for? You have 2 pics posted, but only one appears. To get to the second one i clicked on the first and then arrow right.
I like you can close the music player, but what if the fan wants it back on. Shouldn't it have an option, or do they then need to go to the music section for the individual songs?
I'm not a big fan of having forums on actual band sites, what are your views on this? (i'll be making my site soon to show my music)
I didn't know you had a little brother, and definitly didn't know he was in a band. How long have they been around (the band, not your brother)? It's the first i hear of them (very radio friendly). I'd like to catch them live.

Thanks!
Yes, the gallery will show a list of thumbnails, auto generated from the stored files.
Good point on the player. I'll add a link to reopen it.
Forums are only good if the band is willing to participate in them. For a local band, they can be a huge lure in building FANatics out of their fans but it basically requires at least one webbie in the group to make it work. You could say that Chessmasters is the sort of group that is not conducive to online forums either, but they took to them just fine. It all depends on how the people running them market them.
This is a new band, so they have only been together since January. They had their first gig a week or two ago opening for the 2005 X tour, and it went smashingly well. They all moved in together to the warehouse we built their sound stage in, and we've assembled quite the professional recording studio for them. All the cuts on the site were recorded and mixed in their live in studio, and there are another 9 songs that are still being polished. Quite a haul for a few months of work! He has been in various other bands previously. I also dragged him to Chessmasters for a little bit when we were meeting at Alice Wainright, where he had an interesting acrobatic fight with Skeegy. His next performance is at the Factory (in Fort Lauderdale) on April 29th. The show starts at 8:30 pm and will also feature Berman (http://www.bermanmusic.com), Milka, Curse Icon, and Chumley's Toy.
Crimson Vera is looking very sweet Love. I like the idea of the chat board as well, bringing the fan on a closer level. I too was looking how to turn the player back on after I clicked it off. One thing I notice on the logo it kind of hard to see the black rose, perhaps lighten it up a touch?
Paradigm I am curious what the other background graphics look like. The design its self-looks clean and like the idea opacity of the menus just enough to see a touch of the background. I would like to see the rest of the site when you get on line. Now is this a RP group plays game or is this site for the game its self?
Oh yes I have all those files downloaded, it took quite a while as I had to baby-sit it, my connection between the servers kept breaking. File size 1.5 GB *chuckles*
